Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) was established in 1945, mainly thanks to commitment of academic employees of Lvov University of Technology and John Casimir University in Lvov, which no longer exist. Today, the University continues the tradition of these renowned Polish educational institutions, developing in strict cooperation with the leading enterprises of Lower Silesia. It is one of the biggest and best technological universities in the country, occupying top places in national rankings on a regular basis.
The mission of the University is to maintain and develop competences related to the culture of experimentation. These very competences have created our modern civilisation; they are a prerequisite for its existence and the main driving forces behind its development. Nowadays, as experiments are being replaced with procedures and appearances seem to count more than facts, this mission is of fundamental significance.
