individual protections as well as protection equipment. ITB MORATEX is also Notified Body No. 1475 for the individual protections.

2 ABOUT US Institute of Security Technologies MORATEX is research institute supervised by Minster of Interior of Republic Poland. Activity: realization of the scientific studies and developmental works for the elaboration of new technological solutions in range of the individual protections as well as protection equipment. ITB MORATEX is also Notified Body No for the individual protections. Two accredited research laboratories (by Polish Center of Accreditation and Minster of Defense), four Research Departments. The thrid Laboratory is under construction now. Google Map

4 Metrology Laboratory The laboratory is accredited by Polish Center of Accreditation within the range of testing the physical & mechanical and usage properties of textile goods. Accreditation No. AB 154 Notification No directive 89/686/EEC Personal Protection Equipment as well as accreditation by Minister of Defense. The laboratory provides testing services to satisfy the needs related with scientific and research activity of MORATEX Institute, for products certification and for customers. The services are concerning: flat textile products (fabrics, knits, non-wovens) products coated with rubber or plastics rope goods fibrous composites plastics for personal protection goods making-up technical making-up personal protection means The laboratory uses about 100 research methods. Most of them are standardized by European and ISO standards.

5 Ballistic Laboratory Polish Center of Accreditation within Laboratory accredited by the scope of ballistic and impact resistance. Accreditation No. AB 155 by PCA and Minster of Defense. The testing scope covered by the PCA accreditation has been divided into 2 groups: ballistic tests; impact resistance tests. For both groups, the testing objects are i.a.: bullet-, knife- and needle-proof vests, helmets, ballistic packets flat samples, impact resistant body protectors. It is the one and only lab in Poland with the workplace ready for determining shock absorbing capabilities of body protectors. The laboratory also has at its disposal the equipment that allows for execution of the tests of fast-changing physical magnitudes. The laboratory periodically extends the scope of accreditation according to the customers' demand.

6 Products Certification Department Notified Body The Products Certification Department of the MORATEX Institute works since 2000, on a basis of the Law of Conformity Assessment. The scope of Department activity used to cover a freewill certification of textile goods in common usage and work clothing, protective clothing and protective equipment. The Department has initiated and maintains the quality system compliant to the requirements of PN-EN Standard General requirements for the product certifying bodies, which ensures professionalism at certification processes. For now, the priority for the Department is conformity assessment of products dedicated for state security among the organizational units being subordinated to or supervised by the Minister of Interior, ie. Police Headquarters, Border Guards and the Government Protection Bureau. The Department applies for the accreditation of Defense and Security from the Minister of Defense.

15 GENERAL CONTEXT OF THE GOOD PRACTICES IMPLEMENTATION The GP implemented at MORATEX are connected to the specific adoption of the project management practices based on the PRINCE 2 methodology. The project management processes were adopted for the specific characters of the research and developmental projects realising by the MORATEX, especially in aspect of the END-USERS needs (end-users of the security area: Police, Border Guards, State Fire Service, Government Protections Bureau BOR). GP significantly activates the competencies and skills of the researchers, especially young scientists of the MORATEX as well as other bodies cooperating within the project consortia - scientific institutions and commercial Partners, which consequently and remarkably increase the probability of achieving the projects goals in the scope defined by the End-Users by the economic way (using the risk managements for the optimal project planning and/or implementation of the corrective/preventive actions). It has also the economical aspect the optimal realization of the research projects yields the high-value results which find commercial applications.

16 STAKEHOLDERS The internal stakeholders of GP are: researchers of the MORATEX, Supervisors of the projects carried out in MORATEX; The external stakeholders of GP are: end-users of the products/technologies developed more frequently Services supervised by Polish Minister of the Interior, financial supporting organizations, commercial organizations, and Polish (UE) citizens demanding a satisfactory level of the internal security.

17 COMPLIMENT OF GOOD PRACTICE WITH PLUSTEX POLICY PRIORITY AREA The GP implemented at MORATEX positively impacted the PLUSTEX policy priority areas: Support of young entrepreneurship and innovative business models (by improving the competency and skills of the researchers as well as the cooperating commercial and scientific Partners), Diversification of production towards high-quality and high-tech textiles and niche products (by the optimal and economical course of the projects and more effective achieving their goals: products, long-terms results), Fostering eco-innovation and social responsibility in the sector (by improving the competency and skills of the researchers as well as the cooperating commercial and science Partners).

18 TANGIBILITY, DURABILITY AND VISIBILITY OF GOOD PRACTICE The implementation of the project management methodology allowed MORATEX for the more effective realisation of more than 7 developmental project in the consortia amounted 3 10 Partners. The products and results of the projects generated several innovative technological and product solutions being patented, and finally commercialized in Polish enterprises.

19 Success factors TANGIBILITY, DURABILITY AND VISIBILITY OF GOOD PRACTICE The main success factors are: the proper strategy of the implementation and the aimed adaptation of the project management methodology as well as proper identification of the internal and external stakeholders. Difficulties encountered and lessons learnt from the practice The main difficulties are: the internal stakeholders attitude towards the changes, especially in group of the employees 50+, the lack of the comprehension among the projects Partners, necessity of the methodology validation (prolongation of the time of receiving the result). Remarks on durability of the GP results and impacts on the partner s policy capacity Necessity to have a group of the PM s improving their skills and competencies.

20 TRANSFERABILITY OF GOOD PRACTICE The GP is relevant for all project organizations having the project-like organization structure and realising the innovative projects. The transfer of the GPs is linked directly to the personnel skills and competencies as well as organization structure more preferred is the project structure of the organization where the adaptation of the methodology is relatively quicker and more effective.
