Łukasiewicz Research Network
The part of science that works for business
About
The Łukasiewicz Research Network is a Polish state research network that states it has 7,000 employees and 22 research and implementation institutes located in 12 cities across Poland, and describes itself as one of the largest research networks in Europe. It carries out contract R&D projects for business clients and states that its laboratory network performs tests and certifications for almost all industries. Its stated priority directions are defence and national security, chemistry for industry, energy transition and the circular economy.
Deterministic scores · rules-based, not AIiHow these scores are obtained: each one is computed from this profile's listed attributes — capability checkboxes, certifications, capacity figures and coverage — by a fixed formula, recomputed on every page load. Deterministic and rules-based means the score comes from a fixed, transparent formula over listed attributes — the same inputs always produce the same score. It is not AI: there is no model, no learning, and no hidden weighting. Whether a score is relevant to you depends on your specific project: a capability that raises the number may not matter for your work, and a niche strength your project needs may barely move it. Capability scores are a directional starting point, not a verdict. A lower score does not disqualify a company or consultant, and no decision should rest on the score alone — always contact the company directly to confirm the specifics for your project.
Research excellence iBlends publication volume (tiers from 4 points for any output up to 34 at 50,000+ papers), patent count (3 to 22 points at 1,500+), citation impact (2 to 20 points at 80+), and how many of the 14 research capabilities the profile checks - 1.8 points each, capped at 24. Levels: 80+ World-leading | 60-79 Research-intensive | 40-59 Established | below 40 Emerging. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
4Emerging
Discovery capability iAdds points for six discovery checkboxes: drug discovery, target discovery, and AI drug discovery are 14 each; biomarker development, translational medicine, and gene editing are 12 each. Each research technology listed adds 2 more points, capped at 22. Levels: 80+ Pioneering | 60-79 Advanced | 40-59 Developing | below 40 Foundational. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Foundational
Translational readiness iScores four checkboxes - translational medicine (24), clinical research (22), technology transfer (18), core facilities offered (14) - plus 4 points per facility listed on the profile, capped at 22. Levels: 80+ Clinic-ready | 60-79 Translational | 40-59 Bridging | below 40 Bench-focused. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
14Bench-focused
Commercialization iCombines patent count (3 to 24 points at 1,000+), spin-out companies (3 to 22 points at 100+), industry partnerships (2 to 18 points at 200+), 14 points for a technology-transfer office, and 5 points per licensable technology listed, capped at 22. Levels: 80+ Highly translatable | 60-79 Strong pipeline | 40-59 Active | below 40 Early-stage. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Early-stage
Funding scale iUses active grant count (tiers from 4 points up to 32 at 2,000+ grants), total grant funding (6 points for any up to 40 at 1.5 billion USD or more), and funding-source diversity at 4 points per source listed, capped at 22. Levels: 80+ Exceptionally funded | 60-79 Well-funded | 40-59 Funded | below 40 Limited. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Limited
Infrastructure iMeasures scale: principal investigators (5 to 30 points at 1,500+), core-facility types listed (3.2 points each, capped at 26), facilities on the profile (4 points each, capped at 22), and employee count (3 to 22 points at 20,000+). Levels: 80+ Comprehensive | 60-79 Extensive | 40-59 Solid | below 40 Focused. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
