Lodz University of Technology is one of the finest universities of technology in Poland. Its tradition and
experience in training professionals and conducting research date back more than 75 years. It is an
attractive partner for business. It cooperates with largest national and international corporations. It
conducts research of a European standard, develops new technologies and creates innovation in
collaboration with the leading research centers all over the world. One of the pillars of the Lodz
University of Technology management is equal treatment of staff regardless of their gender, age, race
or other demographic and social characteristics. In 2016, TUL was the first technical university in Poland
to receive the HR EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH award certifying that the University adheres to the
principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of
Researchers.
The Institute of Turbomachinery is a unit of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Lodz
University of Technology, recognizable both in Poland and abroad. The organizational structure of the
Institute includes 6 Scientific Divisions (with specialized laboratories) and a mechanical workshop. Both
research projects and cooperation with domestic and foreign industry concern:
- computational and design works of turbomachines and their components,
- analysis and evaluation of possibilities to improve the currently achieved operating parameters of turbomachines and their operation systems,
- technical expertise to determine the causes of failures and methods of removing their effects
- operational tests of turbomachines in industrial installations,
- advice and consultation in planning energy generation investments, in supervising their implementation and during the operation of turbomachines,
- specialized courses and trainings for technical personnel.
The Institute of Turbomachinery can boast the implementation of innovative technologies, including the
implementation of the design and optimization of aircraft propellers for the X3 multitask hybrid
helicopter developed by AIRBUS HELICOPTERS and the gold medal for the invention "Wind turbine
with vertical axis of rotation and variable geometry of blades" awarded at the 2nd World Exhibition
Technology Expo. The employees of the Institute are the authors of numerous patented solutions. The
Institute of Turbomachinery is also the organizer of the cyclical International SYMPOSIUM ON
COMPRESSOR & TURBINE FLOW SYSTEMS - THEORY & APPLICATION AREAS - SYMKOM,
attended by representatives of the world of science and industry.
