While facing the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, an increased, joint effort of researchers and the business community is needed to understand the mechanism of COVID-19. The Silesian University of Technology, meeting the need for rapid, joint action by scientists in the fight against the pandemic, has launched additional opportunities within the frame of the programme ”SUT against the epidemic.”

Under this programme, it is possible to provide financial support for research works conducted at the University to combat COVID-19.The funds obtained through voluntary contributions will be used by the academic staff of the Silesian University of Technology to conduct activities to combat COVID-19, as well as to conduct projects on other infectious diseases and minimise the consequences of the epidemic. Contributions are entirely voluntary and can be made by natural and legal persons and organisational units without legal personality. 

Employees wishing to benefit from the possibility of additional support in combating the epidemic and its consequences may submit applications to the Secretariat of the Vice Rector for General Affairs. These applications will be considered in the proceedings of a Committee appointed for this purpose. The conditions for participation in the Programme are available in the Legal Monitor, item 272 (Ordinance No 72/2020)
