Poznań, Poland

     Poznan University of Technology (PUT) grew out of the State School of Mechanical Engineering which was established in 1919. Currently, it is one of the leading technical universities in Poland. PUT trains highly qualified personnel in the field of engineering, in close liaison with research, technology development and innovation, in partnership with the economy and society. Its educational offer includes three-stage ECTS from engineering by the master to doctoral.
 
     Today, the Poznan University of Technology offers education at 9 faculties, running a total of 31 fields of study. Since the academic year 2006/2007, Poznan University of Technology has been offering doctoral studies as the third-cycle studies. Nearly 17,000 students of I and II cycles, PhD students and participants of post-graduate programmes receive education here. Over 1,300 academic staff cares about their education. Implementation of PUT's mission enables the vision to become reality - to be one of the best technical universities in Poland, which aspires to become an equipollent partner of other European schools in terms of education quality and high level of scientific research.
 
     PUT was the first Polish institution of higher education to become a member of CESAER (Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research) – a European organisation that brings together the best technical schools. In 2000, the first General Reunion of the Alumni of Poznan University of Technology was held, and in 2004 the University celebrated the 85th anniversary of the establishment of Polish Higher Technical Education in Poznan. It is also a member of SEFI (Societe Europeenne pour la Formation des Ingenieurs), EUA (European University Association), ADUEM (Alliance of Universities for Democracy) and IAU (International Association of Universities).
 
     In 2020, the university implemented 205 projects from external funding (including 12 projects under Erasmus +, 8 projects under Horizon 2020, 91 projects under National Science Center). Since 2020 PUT is a leader of prestigious project EUNICE (European University for Customised Education) financed by Erasmus + within Euroepan Universities Initiative.
The University's researchers receive the most prestigious state awards for achievement in science. The Foundation of Polish Science, which awards the best Polish scientists, three times honoured professors of our University with the so-called "Polish Nobel Prize" – in 2000 it was awarded to professor Jan Węglarz, in 2005 to professor Roman Słowiński and in 2011 to professor Elżbieta Frąckowiak.
 
     To fulfil the requirements of present and future professional activities and competitiveness on a global scale, there is a need to educate specialists who can develop the Polish economy taking into account the sustainability aspects in logistic areas. Today we need such highly qualified experts, who are ready to realize changes and put them into practice, and such specialists are educated in PUT in courses such as Engineering Management (in Polish and English language), Logistics (in Polish and English language) and Safety Engineering led by the teachers of the Faculty of Engineering Management. PUT studies have always had an engineering character, hence graduates not only understand what is going on around them but they are also able to exploit their surroundings for their own needs. Know-how and practical abilities differentiate their graduates in job markets and put them in high demand as specialists.

KATARZYNA GRZYBOWSKA, PhD, DSc, Eng. is Associate Professor at the Poznan University of Technology (PUT). Her home university is Poznan University of Technology.

In December 2019 she received the scientific title of Habilitant Doctor of Social Sciences in the field of Management and Quality Sciences under resolution of the Council of the University of Lodz of 16.12.2019 on the basis of the habilitation dissertation entitled “Multi-agent supply chains”

In her scientific activity, several trends can be distinguished, which entirely contribute to a coherent approach to the problem of supply chain management. The most important research areas covered in her publications include:

  • Area A – supply chain management in the context of definition, cooperation and competition as well as trust and relationships in the supply chain;
  • Area B – theory of coordination in supply chain management, including actions coordination mechanisms;
  • Area C – Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) in supply chain management;
  • Area D – reference modeling and reliability analysis with particular emphasis on the analysis of survival of supply chains;
  • Area E – global theoretical trends and supply chain development directions.

Her present research focuses on Sustainable Supply Chain, Digital Supply Chain and Supply Chain Resilience.

Her research are part of the larger research on DRS (Digital, Resilient, Sustainable) model of a supply chain.
