The research and services offered by IETU focus on environmental challenges posed by industrialised and urbanised areas in the context of circular economy, resource efficiency, adaptation to climate change and mitigation of its effects. MissionOur mission is to provide solutions beneficial for the environment and the economy which will ensure welfare of the public.\u00a0VisionThe Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas is an innovative and independent business entity providing and developing attractive and effective solutions which significantly reduce pressure or have a positive impact on the environment. Strategic goalThe strategic goal of the Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas is to initiate actions for sustainable management of environmental resources in the context of economic growth and social development (on a local, regional and European scale) by conducting R&amp;D works and implementing their results.\u00a0HistoryIn 1972, on the basis of the Katowice Branch of the Institute of Water Management, an Environmental Protection Centre was established as an initiative of the World Health Organisation (WHO). Until 1991 the Centre was acting as a Katowice branch of the Institute for Environmental Management supervised by the Minister of the Environment, later on referred to as the Institute for Environmental Protection. In 1992 the Katowice branch of the Institute for Environmental Protection became an independent unit under the name of the Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas (IETU).With the development of environmental protection in Poland the scientific and research profile of IETU was gradually changing, starting from surface water protection, water and wastewater treatment technologies, through atmospheric protection and municipal management, towards comprehensive, systemic, integrated protection and management of the environment. Over the last three years IETU&#8217;s scientific expertise, experience and organisational skills, as well as the availability of IT and telecommunications services, enabled scientific and research cooperation and exchange of knowledge with more than 200 units involved in the implementation of joint national and international projects. Calendar 1972 On the basis of the Katowice Branch of the Institute of Water Management, an Environmental \u00a0Protection Centre was established as an initiative of the World Health Organisation (WHO), which until 1992 acted as the Katowice branch of the Institute for Environmental Protection. The Institute&#8217;s scientific activity in 1972-1992 contributed to:- the development of the basis of an environmental quality management system and environmental quality control system in the Katowice \/ Silesian voivodeship,- launching the first regional air quality monitoring system in Poland based on average daily measurements of pollutant concentrations (PM, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides),- implementation of environmental impact assessment (EIA) to environmental protection law,- development of techniques and technologies to reduce pollutant emission to the environment,- development of systemic solutions for comprehensive environmental protection of industrialised and urbanised areas in the Upper Silesian Industrial Region,- development of methodology for creating multi-annual environmental protection programmes,- changes in the structure of crop cultivation in the allotment gardens due to soil contamination with heavy metals &#8211; lead, cadmium, zinc (1980-1994). since 1986 IETU has been operating and developing a testing ground for comprehensive environmental research, also at a cellular level. 1992 Decision on the establishment of an independent unit &#8211; Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas. 1992-2002Rapid development of international cooperation (US Department of Energy, US Environmental Protection Agency, Florida State University, European research units); active involvement in actions carried out by the Ministry of the Environment; undertaking numerous initiatives at a voivodeship level. since 1994 Implementation of research funded under the EU Research Framework Programmes, active cooperation with European research institutions.
