Organisation of scientific seminars and conferences for users of the results and the wider public. We take care of the all-round development of the individual disciplines of soil science and of the scientific field as a whole in relation to related disciplines. We promote the practical applications of soil science in agriculture and forestry.

We offer testing of forming machines and verification of safety parameters. In particular: measurement of selected technical parameters of products, certification of products, conformity assessment of products, inspection activities, assessment of functional characteristics of products, assessment of compliance with standards and regulations in force abroad.

We deal with the control of feed, soil and plant nutrition or animal production. We have laboratories for chemical analyses. We focus on organic farming controls and issue exemptions for the use of conventional seeds and seedlings. We organise seminars and issue professional publications.

We ensure the performance of state administration in the field of hallmarking and testing of precious metals. We carry out hallmarking inspections of goods made of precious metals or inspections of manufacturers and traders of precious metal products. We impose penalties for defects found.

Research and development mainly in the field of technology, armaments, equipment and logistic support for ground troops in the fields of military chemistry, electronic warfare and camouflage, materials engineering.

We provide professional services for the development and implementation of national water policy focusing on hydraulics, hydrology, hydrogeology. We are engaged in promoting water protection, flood prevention and waste and packaging management, research on the status, use and changes of aquatic ecosystems and their links in the landscape.

We are a state-of-the-art research centre focused on automotive, aerospace, energy and engineering technologies. We cooperate with companies in commercial research projects. We also welcome international collaboration.

We are engaged in research, development and application of methods of landscape conservation, creation and care. We carry out integration and coordination of interests in environmental protection. We support research in the field of ornamental horticulture. We provide advice and expertise.

We focus on research into the materials and processes of the Earth's crust and their effects on the environment. We study the structure and properties of anthropogenic sediments, physical laws and mechanisms of induced processes in rocks. We organize lectures at universities and courses.

We provide research on vertebrates at population and community levels. We specialize in evolutionary ecology, biodiversity, applied ecology and medical zoology. We contribute to increasing the level of knowledge and education and to the application of scientific research results in practice.
