  • creating interactive web applications for obtaining, modeling and dissemination of knowledge in the field of bio-economy,
  • research and development  of information decision support systems for prosumer model,
  • performing interdisciplinary research and system analysis,
  • development of deterministic and stochastic models of processes and phenomena.
The "HR Strategy for Researchers" supports research institutions and funding organisations in the implementation of “The European Charter for Researchers”  & “The Code of Conduct for the Recruitment for Researchers” in their policies and practices. The concrete implementation of the Charter & Code by research institutions will render them more attractive to researchers looking for a new employer or for a host for their research project. Funding organisations implementing the Charter & Code principles will contribute to the attractiveness of their national research systems and to the attractiveness of the European Research Area more generally. The award "HR Excellence in Research" will identify the institutions and organisations as providers and supporters of a stimulating and favourable working environment.
Since the adoption of the Commission Recommendation on the Charter & Code in 2005, over 1 200 institutions from 40 countries in Europe and abroad (and European/international organisations) have expressed their explicit support for the Charter & Code and 232 have obtained the Commission's "HR Excellence in Research" badge.

In March of 2016 The European Commission granted logo "HR Excellence in Research" for the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - National Research Institute in Pulawy.
