Research
Our degree program has a strong focus on applied engineering and practical experience. Currently there is an ongoing "Industry on Campus" project called "Development and Optimization of Energy Process Chains of Renewable Resources - Particularly Biogas Installations". The main fields of research included in this project are:
- Industrial Microbiology (biopolymers, biofuel cells)
- Gasification, pyrolysis and combustion of biomass
- Production, purification and storage of biogas
- Increasing the stability of microbiological processes in biogas plants
- Effect-related environmental analysis
The University of Warmia and Mazury (UWM) in Olsztyn is a traditional university with a strong focus on research. In 2005 the department of environmental biotechnology opened new laboratories to investigate:
- Environmental impacts
- Toxicology (especially with regard to the fishing industry or landfills)
- Water and sludge treatment
- Genetic engineering
- Biopolymers and biofuels
For the past few years the Offenburg University and UWM have been jointly publishing the English-language journal "Environmental Biotechnology" available online at www.environmentalbiotechnology.pl.
