The Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals (IMN), located in Gliwice, Poland, serves as the primary scientific and technological anchor for the EDventure project. As the Lead Research Partner, the institute leverages decades of empirical knowledge, specialized laboratories, and cutting-edge industrial methodologies in the fields of metallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and raw materials separation.

Within the scope of EDventure, Łukasiewicz – IMN is responsible for translating intricate chemical phenomena and industrial-scale metallurgical processes into precise mathematical and logical datasets. This scientific framework functions as the analytical core of the entire virtual reality simulation platform.

By combining industrial science with immersive virtual reality, this partnership ensures that students and engineers receive high-fidelity, risk-free training that accurately replicates real-world industrial behaviors, efficiency metrics, and safety hazards.
