Science-Technology Park to open in Swierk
The Science-Technology Park is to open in Swierk, near Warsaw, in December 2013. An agreement concerning financing the investment from EU funds was signed in Warsaw. The EU is to finance also the development of technology using radiation. The cost of both investments is estimated at PLN 90 million, with EU funding is to cover PLN 76.5 m.
Establishing the Science-Technology Park is to cost PLN 50 million (PLN 42.5 million is to come from the EU). The investment has been initiated by the Institute for Nuclear Studies in Swierk, wnp.pl reports
“We need to become more open to the economy and share our ides. That is why we came up with the idea of a technology park in Swierk” the director of the Institute, Prof. Grzegorz Wrochna explains. The companies operating within the park will have access to research equipment, laboratories and experts hired by many centres. The development of technologies using radiation will be supported by modernising and equipping four labs – the laboratory of accelerating structures, laboratory of ion-plasma beams, laboratory of radiography and laboratory of environmental measurements, wnp.pl informs.
