The Central Mining Institute

Central Mining Institute has been connected with the mining industry and with the Upper Silesia region. The Experimental Mine “Barbara” in Mikołów, established 20 years before is a part of the Institute. The Institute’s activity concentrates on the problems concerning work safety, modern technologies and mining techniques as well as environmental protection against the effects of industrial activity, in particular mining. The results of scientific and research works conducted in the Institute constitute the basis for the modern and safe Polish mining industry, and many of them are applied also in the world mining industry. The Central Mining Institute provides services for all the branches of industry, institutions and offices of the central and local administration as well as the foreign partners.
