Lublin scientific and research achievements

The scientific and academic world of Lublin is known for its wide variety of different disciplines and examined topics. It has been a role model of working for the balanced development of the city and its society for years. The educational industry is the crucial foundation for the Lublin’s economics, generating up to 18% of the city’s GDP. A modern and fast-growing academic center of Lublin creates the interdisciplinary-research-friendly ambience. The innovative conceptions and smart solutions achieved this way are being successfully introduced by the local institutions and companies.

The high rate of generating inventions and innovations recorded in recent years in Lublin contributed to the increase in their transfer to the economy. Knowledge Transfer Centers support entrepreneurs in establishing cooperation with scientific centers, coordinate the implementation of commissioned research and research and development projects, promote innovative solutions, carry out commercialization processes of scientific research results, patents and copyrights. They care for the protection of intellectual property. The integration of the scientific community and the business community allows for broader use of scientific achievements through their transfer to the economy.

Inventions made in Lublin

Examples of solutions developed at Lublin University of Technology include: a device for plasma treatment of plants, a device to support training, mainly rowing and kayaking, a sound transducer, as well as a tool for cross-rolling forged balls. Other solutions proposed by LUT scientists are devices for filtering and recovering heat from flue gases discharged through a chimney.

Moreover, Łukasz Kwaśny and Karol Fatyga, in cooperation with Dariusz Zieliński and Bartłomiej Stefańczak from the Department of Electrical Drives and Machines at LUT, invented a system and a way to control a transformer with an energy storage.

‘The solution is a breakthrough because it can replace the classic MV/LV power transformer used to supply electricity to single-family houses, factories and all facilities requiring power supply. There are more than a hundred thousand devices of that kind in the whole country. The introduction of this solution makes it possible to accumulate energy while maintaining all the functionalities of the classic transformer,’ explains Karol Fatyga, M.Sc.

Research, which is conducted, by scientific institutions at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin in the laboratories, clinics, experimental and private farms represents a valuable contribution to the development of agricultural and veterinary sciences. Numerous publications in reputable national and international scientific journals reflect the value of scientific achievements. Expanded cooperation with the business sector (manufacturing plants, meat processing plants, sugar refineries, breweries, etc.) results in a large number of reported and obtained patents, utility models and implementations.

The Lublin University of Technology has become a leader in terms of the number of patent applications filed in 2019. The high position of Lublin University of Technology in the report confirms the innovativeness of our employees’ research work. We are the leader in terms of the number of applications submitted in 2019, which was 135. Taking into account the number of invention patents and utility model protection rights granted by the Polish Patent Office, we are one of the most active institutions in Poland,’ says Prof. Zbigniew Pater, Rector of Lublin University of Technology (LUT).

The Vice-Rector for General Affairs and Development of LUT, Prof. Dariusz Czerwiński, adds: ‘Effective transfer of the best solutions to the market is one of the most important tasks of the university. This is what the socio-economic environment as well as the researchers themselves expect. That is why it is so essential to provide appropriate equipment and organisational and financial background at the university, so that the employees are interested in commercialisation and want to benefit from patent protection. I think this is something that works well at our university, and as a result, our scientists are becoming increasingly effective,’ emphasizes the Vice-Rector.
