About the project
The project Polish Platform of Medical Research: a portal for knowledge management and research potential aims to prepare a platform that integrates, presents and promotes scientific achievements and supports open access to resources in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, public health, occupational health and safety, ergonomics and healthcare.
Polish Platform of Medical Research (PPM) is a partnership project between nine medical universities (UMW - leading university in the project, UMB, GUMed, SUM, UM in Lublin, PUM, WUM, UJ CM, UMED in Lodz ) and one institute (IMP in Lodz). An important element of the portal is a database of experts from various areas of medical science and a common domain repository.
An integral part of the PPM is the local platform Polish Platform of Medical Research - Medical University of Silesia (PPM SUM) and the SUM Repository, which enables archiving and sharing in an open model of full texts of, among others: articles, research data, monographs, chapters, doctoral theses and other documents. The Repository is designed to make available and disseminate the scientific and research output of SUM's employees, doctoral students and students, to promote the research and to contribute to wider cooperation with the economic sector.
