About

The Institute of Hydro-Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IBW PAN) came into existence in 1953 out of the Institute of Hydraulics of Gdansk University of Technology. Prof. Romuald Cebertowicz, a specialist in soil mechanics and foundations, was both creator and the first headmaster of the Institute. The Institute was established in response to the needs of national water resources management and industry. Today, our research is principally directed towards maritime and inland hydraulics as well as soil mechanics.
