The Faculty of Chemistry at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and Grupa Azoty, the largest Polish chemical corporation, have signed a cooperation agreement. It involves scientific and research cooperation in the field of chemical sciences, new materials and technologies as well as environmental protection. As explained on Tuesday by Piotr Kuśtrowski, dean of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University, the agreement is a formalization of the fruitful cooperation between both partners that has been ongoing for many years.

According to the agreement, cooperation will be implemented through joint scientific and research projects and efforts to co-finance research projects, commissioned scientific and research studies and the implementation of master's, doctoral and postdoctoral dissertations. The agreement also provides for the organization of student internships and academic internships, as well as the participation of employees in advisory teams.
