Our mission
To make sophisticated engineering methods available for satisfying the needs of human individuals in different societies.
Our vision
Our vision aims to contribute to a livable existence by satisfying human individual needs, basically (i) adequate food and nutrition, (ii) medical and pharmaceutical products, (iii) an uncontaminated, eco-friendly environment and (iv) suitable energy sources. In all these fields of activities, at least one material component capable of flowing is available. Thus, fluid mechanics play an essential role in improving existent corresponding processes and products as well as in creating novel one as cross-sectional discipline per se. When contributing to satisfying the needs of complete societies, managing bulk processes in automatized, on-line, self-learning up-to-date procedure represents is a must.
