Teaching and research – outcomes

The most visible result of many years of education, top-level research and cooperation with economic partners is the IT ecosystem in Kraków and Małopolska Region. According to various sources, it employs about 50,000 specialists. A significant group are graduates of the FCSET (formerly: FEACSE), who in some companies constitute from a dozen to several dozen percent of the technical and managerial staff.
