Our mission is to create innovation and provide research services of the highest quality to companies worldwide.
The Institute of Aviation consists of five departments:
-
Materials & Structures Research Center,
Center of New Technologies,
Center of Space Technologies,
Center for Composite Technologies,
Engineering Design Center.
We are determined to achieve our strategic objectives of:
-
becoming a world leading research center,
increasing our competitiveness in the global research market.
Our strategy is based on both stimulating and achieving active participation in diverse international scientific
priorities. The Institute of Aviation continues and expands its research into all aspects of the aviation sector.
We promote and implement research results and conduct educational activity through cooperation with institutions
and organizations worldwide. We invest in the development of scientific research workforce and infrastructure. We
aim at enhancing human space and organizational potential.
The Institute of Aviation executes a strategy towards a knowledge-based society and economy.

Engineering Design Center
The Engineering Design Center was established in April 2000 by virtue of an agreement between General Electric and
the Institute of Aviation. Engineers from both Companies are both working on engineering projects, creating teams
and sections comprising the Warsaw Centre. EDC Divisions: GE Aviation, GE Aviation Systems, GE Energy
Management, GE Power&Water, and GE Oil&Gas.
