On July 20, 2023, in the Senate Hall of the Rzeszow University of Technology, the signing of framework cooperation agreements between the companies BURY and R&D Center BURY and the Rzeszow University of Technology took place. The acts of cooperation were signed by – on behalf of the BURY companies – the President of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer Bernadetta Dzik, and on the part of the Technical University – Prof. Jarosław Sęp, PhD, Eng – Vice-Rector for Development and Cooperation with the Environment. Gabriel Buchała – Vice President of BURY Sp. z o.o. and R&D Center BURY also attended the ceremony.

The signed documents are a declaration of a broad cooperation and collaboration between science and business centers. Jointly defined fields of cooperation include conducting scientific research, research and development works, training courses organized by the University of Technology, student internships and apprenticeships and training of highly qualified personnel, mutual implementation of projects financed from external sources, support of information and recruitment processes, mediation in cooperation with the University’s scientific circles, as well as mutual promotion of shared activities and achievements. 

Provisions in the agreements also specify the implementation of joint ventures based on separate, detailed agreements.

BURY’s cooperation with Rzeszow University of Technology has a long-standing tradition marked by a number of successful projects specified in project agreements. BURY has successfully supported the University’s research circles in implementing projects and events for the automotive industry. The fact that the company makes regular presentations at the University of Technology and the Board’s participation in the economic councils of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering faculties is certainly an important factor. The result of these activities is the significant participation of the University of Technology graduates in the employment process, both at BURY Sp. z o.o. and the BURY R&D Center.

It is worth mentioning that the agreements concluded are the first documents of this magnitude signed by our companies with a university in the country.
