The mission of IPS is to contribute to the strengthening of the role of science and high technologies in the developmental potential of society. This can essentially contribute to the economic strength and harmonic social development. IPS acts as a centre of excellence which integrates basic research with postgraduate education and development of innovations. Research results are directly included into innovation projects for development of production, services, and management. Magistrands and doctorands, together with their supervisors from IPS and co-mentors from practice, contribute to new basic research results and to science-based introduction of innovations.
