6) Development of new R&D centres

Sector/Subsector: Knowledge and the digital economy/Public R&D
Description: The mission of the R&D Centres is to support innovation activities of the
national authorities in many areas of science and provide training of future engineers
and researchers. Investment needs in an innovation and research area, especially in the
infrastructure located in Mazovia Region and in the infrastructure necessary to
implement the European research projects, are estimated at 2.9 bn EUR till 2022. These
undertakings will be implemented under Strategy for Innovation and Efficiency of
Economy – Dynamic Poland 2020.
Financing needs: Projects’ costs range from €25 mn to €110 mn.

Involved parties: Public institutions (e.g. Ministry of Science and Higher Education,
Military University of Technology, International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology
etc.).

Main project barriers: High risk related to the research activities and lack of long term
finance, low propensity of private sector to co-fund research infrastructures, compliance
with the EC requirements for the financial perspective 2014-2020 (smart specialization,
state aid rules, limited EU funds for Mazovia region) and long standing public
procurement processes.
Socio-economic benefits: Faster development, implementation and commercialization
of solutions in the area of science, creating conditions for effective cooperation of public
institutions in science, research and teaching.
European Value Added: The consolidation and strengthening of the research potential
of the network members, creating databases providing open access to the data and
allowing for distribution via web-based interface.

Project examples:
 KCIKiS - National Centre of Space and Satellite Engineering (€110 mn);
 IN-MOL-CELL -Research Infrastructure of Molecules and Cells (€25 mn);
 CERAD - Centre of Design and Synthesis of Radiopharmaceuticals for Molecular
Targeting (€40 mn);
 SeCuRe - Strain and Culture Resources, (€40 mn);
 NLEJ – National Laboratory for Nuclear Energy (€130 mn);
 PolFEL – Polish free electron laser (€100 mn).
