IICh

The Institute of Chemical Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences is a research organization based in Gliwice, Poland. Founded in 1958 on the initiative of Professor Tadeusz Hobler, a pioneer of Polish process engineering, the Institute conducts scientific research and development focused on chemical engineering and technologies that support environmental protection and clean energy.

Its research covers chemical reactor engineering, biotechnology, nanomaterials and microreactors, and advanced separation techniques for gases and liquids. Specialized laboratories work on bioreactors and biocatalytic processes, catalytic reactors and processes, gas and liquid separation, and functional materials and microreactors. The Institute undertakes nationally and internationally funded research projects, collaborates in international consortia and scientific networks, and shares its work through influential scientific publications and patents. Its researchers also aim to translate research findings into practical applications, with environmental technologies earning recognition at innovation and invention exhibitions. Alongside research, the Institute offers educational activities, including opportunities for students to visit its laboratories and learn about scientific work.
