Education

Centre of Papermaking and Printing (CPP) is one of the Lodz University of Technology units and the only independent research unit of a higher education institution in Poland. CPP conducts research in the broad fields of cellulose technology, paper materials, packaging, and printing. The Centre‘s research interests also include topics related to moulded packaging, cellulose-based, multi-ply composites, environmental protection, recycling, and the life cycle of paper and printing materials, as well as the paper converting, and related control systems. The Centre offers a program of study called “Papermaking and Printing”. Two-cycle programs (Bachelor’s and Master’s) are offered in full-time and part-time formats. Two-semester postgraduate programs are also offered. The interdisciplinary nature of the courses allows students to acquire broad and specialized knowledge and skills, enabling our graduates to easily find attractive employment. CPP collaborates closely with the industry and other companies operating in the papermaking and printing fields. Thanks to this, students have favorable conditions for internships and the opportunity to establish contacts with future employers. The teaching and research methods employed also enable the implementation of research projects: from concept, through laboratory testing, device design, to prototype production and testing. CPP also provides research and expert services in the field of quality testing of cellulose raw materials, paper and printing materials, including components for corrugated cardboard production, as well as packaging testing. Specialized laboratories and research equipment, including those on a semi-technical scale, enable the conduct of high-quality scientific research and teaching.
