On 17^th of January this year, a familiarisation meeting was held at the headquarters of the Central Institute for Labour Protection - National Research Institute between Minister Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk and the Institute's management: the Director of the Institute, prof. Wiktor Marek Zawieska, deputy directors and heads of scientific departments and centres.

During the meeting, the Minister was introduced to the most important areas of the Institute's work and also visited the research laboratories of the TECH-SAFE-BIO - Central Institute for Labour Protection - National Research Institute: the thermal load laboratory, the physiology and exercise laboratories, the musculoskeletal load assessment laboratory, the psychomotor diagnosis and adaptation laboratory, and the psychomotor performance testing laboratory.

I am very pleased that we will have numerous opportunities to meet and work together in the near future. (...) at today's meeting, I would like to hear from you on the key issues that we as a ministry should lean on and address, pay attention to. Above all, however, I would like to see how you work, where you work and what you can boast about, said Minister Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk at the meeting.

This was the first visit of the Head of the Ministry of the Family to the Institute with the aim of getting to know the institute itself and the scope of its current work and research results, much of which is subsidised by funding from the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy.
