On June 6, 2025, the inaugural meeting of the Sustainable Biotechnology Excellence Cluster took place at PUT. In a friendly and constructive atmosphere, participants — representatives of different faculties and university units — had the opportunity to present their research areas, exchange experiences, and discuss mutual expectations for the newly formed cluster.

An important part of the meeting was jointly planning future activities that will effectively integrate the community of PUT researchers engaged in different fields of biotechnology. The discussions covered both substantive and organisational issues, setting guidelines for the further development of the initiative.

The Sustainable Biotechnology Excellence Cluster aims to create a platform for collaboration among PUT scientists whose research covers the broad field of biotechnology.

Drawing on extensive research experience, specialised knowledge, and modern infrastructure, the cluster seeks to increase the effectiveness of scientific work, enhance members’ competencies, and expand national and international networks of scientific contacts. This will help raise the quality and scope of research, increase its scientific impact, and improve the success rate in applying for both basic and applied research projects at the national and international levels.

This is only the beginning — we look to the future with enthusiasm and anticipate the continued growth of the cluster and fruitful cooperation! More information and updates can be found at www.biotechnology.put.poznan.pl
