Jerzy Starak awarded – business cooperate with science

14.12.2018

Jerzy Starak, Chairman of Polpharma’s Supervisory Board was honored with the Medal of “Meritorious AMG”. The Chapter of the Medal appreciated the many years of cooperation between Polpharma and Medical University of Gdańsk, as well as innovative, research and development and educational activities. The ceremony took place during an extraordinary MUG’s Senate session on December 12.

Polpharma is putting emphasis on practical training. For several years now, Polpharma Biologics has been running the Career Lab, a project which enables talented graduates of universities, as well as general and technical secondary schools, to complete year-long internships. A new study programme, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Industry, was launched in 2017, as part of a partnership between Polpharma and the Medical University of Gdańsk. This course, unique on a national scale, is based on a practical profile and dual learning, combining theoretical education with industrial work experience. Another token of the ever closer relationship between business and science is Polpharma’s and MUG’s joint participation in the implementation-oriented Ph.D. system, recently introduced by the Ministry of Science, where the company and the university will jointly run six research projects, including two in the medical biotechnology area.
