A project of establishing a specialist Park and Life Science Incubator was launched by governing bodies of Jagiellonian University (UJ) in 2003. The initial work on the project commenced in the Centre for Innovations, Technology Transfer and University Development (CITTRU), a university-run organisation that is responsible for supporting entrepreneurship at Jagiellonian University. The project's initial strategy was approved by the University's authorities, who on 24 June 2004 eventually resolved to expedite work on the project by establishing a university-operated company under the name of JagielloĊskie Centrum Innowacji Sp. z o.o. (JCI) and assigned it with a task of managing the project. Original assumptions of the project have been expanded and the current plans of the Company include launching comprehensive operations in the area of LifeScience under which a broad range of complementary services will be offered, next to renting of the infrastructure (laboratories). On September 2005, the Company raised financial resources of EUR 11m to finance the first stage of an investment project of constructing the Life Science Park, of which 87% is provided in European Union funds. The remaining part is supplied by the Jagiellonian University and bank PKO BP SA. In 2005, the Company moved into redecorated and refurbished premises at 7 Gronostajowa Street in the building of the Faculty of Biotechnology located on 3rd Jagiellonian University Campus. Today, JCI is located in LIfeScience Park - Bobrzynskiego 14, Krakow (see contact details) |
