IDEAS NCBR conducts research in the area of ​​artificial intelligence, cryptography and blockchain, employing researchers with professor and doctoral degrees, PhD students and interns;[2] cooperates with scientific institutions in Poland and abroad to conduct the exchange of researchers and students, joint grant projects, scientific seminars and doctoral education;[3] offers private sector companies and public institutions cooperation in the area of ​​research and development.[4]

History[edit]

IDEAS NCBR was established on May 13, 2021 as an undertaking of the National Center for Research and Development. The goals of its activities included: supporting the development of scientific staff in the field of AI; financing scientific research, development work and applied science; supporting the commercialization of research and development results; commercialization of the work of research teams in the form of spin-off and spin-out companies[5].

In July 2021, the first two research groups were established, dealing with basic research, led by Piotr Sankowski and Stefan Dziembowski.[6] In February 2022, the first cooperation agreement in the education of doctoral students was signed – with the Military University of Technology in Warsaw.[7] In June 2022, the third research group was established, led by Tomasz Trzciński,[8] and in July 2023, the fourth one, chaired by Przemysław Musialski.[9]

By 2023, the center has also established 10 research teams[10], focused on applied research, and signed cooperation agreements with 11 doctoral schools in Poland (doctoral schools of the University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Military University of Technology, AGH University of Science and Technology, Lodz University of Technology, Białystok University of Technology, Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Poznań University of Technology, Gdańsk University of Technology, Silesian University of Technology[11]) and 7 foreign universities (Computer Vision Center at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, ​​Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica in Amsterdam, IIIT-Delhi – Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology in Delhi, Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Center for Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Robotics (AI.ROBO) at the National Taiwan University, Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering Antonio Ruberti (DIAG) at the Sapienza University of Rome, Department of Applied Cryptography, Technische Universität Darmstadt[12]). The organization has also established cooperation with private (Platige Image[13]) and public entities (Railway Security Guard[14]).

In November 2023, IDEAS NCBR joined European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems, establishing ELLIS Unit Warsaw – the first such unit in Poland and the third in Central and Eastern Europe.[15]
