POLMATIN
Centre of Competence for Advanced Polymeric Materials of Industrial Importance
The strategic aim of the Centre activities was to constitute an interface between basic research and applied industrial research oriented to high-tech application what will facilitate integration with European Research Area. The formation of the bridge between science and industry will be achieved through the development of applied research programmes in collaboration with industry, universities and R&D centres dealing with advanced polymeric materials in Poland and abroad.
To strengthen the impact of the Centre on the technological growth and improve the capability of the Centre to join the European Research Area, it was necessary to intensify its educational and industry/users-oriented activities, including:
dissemination of the information to the society on the role of polymeric materials in the sustainable technological development promotion of the transfer of polymeric materials technologies to the industry development of high-tech application markets through training courses organised for end-users of RTD results increasing the attractiveness of the Centre to young scientists through organisation of training programmes addressing the most interesting areas of research consolidation of the existing networks between R&D centres and formation of new links in order to better integrate Polish science and technology in the field of new polymeric materials with the European Research Area (specifically through study visits and training).

PROJECT ChemFed/ChemLeg-2
Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry was the major institution in Poland responsible for the project's implementation. European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), Brussels, Belgium, was the main coordinating organization of the whole project implemented in the Region of Central and East European Countries (CEEC). In Poland project was realised according to the agreement signed between Representatives of CEFIC and PIPC. The main source of financing was PHARE Business Support Programme Fund. Except PIPC, the chemical industry federations participated in this project from the following CEEC countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Romania (this latter in limited range).
The overall objective of the project Preparation of the CEEC chemical industry for the enlargement of the Internal Market through improving its compliance with EU environmental and social "acquis" was to provide support to CEEC Chemical Industry Federations to take up the Community chemicals, environmental and social "acquis" and support its implementation in their member companies, including best practice implemented by European chemical industry.
Familiarization of CEEC Federations with the relevant Community "acquis" was divided into 5 clusters:
Chemicals Legislation (including first of all Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency and amending Directive 1999/45/EC and Regulation (EC) {on Persistent Organic Pollutants}); Protection of Human Health and the Environment (including first of all Council Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control - so called IPPC Directive); Chemical Transport (including implementation of the SQUAS system (Safety and Quality Assessment Systems for the Transport/Storage/Handling of Chemicals); Social Policy and Employment in cooperation with European Chemical Employers' Group (ECEG); Economic statistics and benchmarking.
The tasks associated with chemicals legislation (REACH System) and IPPC Directive implementation - were coordinated by Andrzej Krześlak, M. Sc., Chem. Eng. (ICRI). Simultaneously the Industrial Chemistry Research Institute (ICRI) benefited from the project results as the PIPC member company.
Project was launched in May 2003 and was terminated successfully on 30 April 2005.
