Every year CEEPUS is awarding a network of outstanding quality, awarded by the Joint Committee of Ministers. Through an external panel of experts, using various evaluation criteria, CEEPUS determines the best of many great networks. 2025 experts selected the network : "Development of mechanical engineering (design, technology and production management) as an essential base for progress in the area of small and medium companies’ logistics - research, preparation and implementation of joint programs of study in the aspect of Industry 4.0.” This network is coordinated by Prof. Stanislaw Legutko, Poznan University of Technology, Institute of Mechanical Technology, who does his excellent job together with his 32 partners. Small and medium industrial companies (SMC), according to the opinion of many experts, are the base of developing countries’ economies. It concerns especially the economy of Central Europe countries, which formerly had nonmarket economy. Development of the mentioned industrial enterprises nowadays depends on the proper level of mechanical engineering (design, manufacturing engineering and production management) and on proper logistics. Therefore, the aim of the network with 32 partners is to utilize experiences and knowledge of partner institutions and information exchange between the partners. The investigations carried out in the framework of the network will concern the design of machines, their technology, production management and industrial logistics, also in the aspect of Industry 4.0 including some special domains.
