2. The Electrotechnical Institute is one of the oldest and belongs to the greatest scientific research institutes in the domain of electro technical industry in Poland. The initiative of calling the Institute to life was put forward at the IX General Meeting of the Association of Polish Electricians (SEP) already in 1937. After war, in 1945, on the initiative of prof. J.L. Jakubowski one of the participants at the General Meeting of SEP and co-author of the resolution, the National High-Voltage Institute was created, which on the 1st September 1946 widened its activities onto the whole electrical engineering, changing its name to National Electrotechnical Institute and then in 1951 the present name was adopted as: Electrotechnical Institute (IEl).

3. The seven scientific research departments are engaged in the following fields, expressed by the department’s name: • - Department of Metrology and Non-destructive Testing (NMB) +CoE • -Department of Electric Machines (NME) +CoE • -Department of Electric Machine Tool Drives (NNO) • -Department of Power Converters (NPM) +CoE • -Department of Electric Traction (NTE) • -Department of Lighting Technology and Systems (NTS) • Department of High Power (NWM) +CoE (4WPs) • Department of Scientific and Technical Information (BTI) +CoE. • Testing Laboratory of the Electrotechnical Institute
