POLTEGOR-INSTITUTE
The Institute`s mission is to research and develop open cast mining innovative processes, technologies, methods and technical solutions for the economy needs - including opencast mining companies and institutions of the state administration. Our scientific research facilities consists of: laboratories, equipment and test stands, and specialized software designed by the Poltegor-Institute staff. We employ experts certified by the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of the Environment, the State Mining Authority. We annually conduct over 500 research and development projects of which 50 are expertises. There are interdisciplinary teams supported by research and laboratory facilities functioning in the Institute structure. Four of them are accredited by Polish Centre for Accreditation and have 11 specialized test stands.

Issues related to the environmental protection are an important part of our activities in the region.. Podmioty gospodarcze prowadzące działalność górniczą metodą odkrywkową związaną z wydobyciem surowców ze swej natury wpływają destrukcyjnie na środowisko. Opencast mining activities are inherently damaging to the environment.The Institute treats this issue as a very import task and put emphasis on resolving social and economical problems of opencast mining activities but also preventing an environmental hazard caused by exploitations of deposits.The basic component of our researches is the issue of the post-exploitation area revitalization.
The strategic objective of the Institute is to develop innovative, clean and environmentally friendly mining technologies and to implement new technical solutions.
To promote our professional and creative activities, our scientist take part in international fairs and competitions including the Brussels Eureka contest and CONCOURS – LÉPINE contests in Paris.
