The name of our institute, in its meaning as understood by the founder of ergonomics, Jastrzebowski, and as defined by the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) indicates our major goals:

• Searching for knowledge on the impact of new technologies on humans
• Improving the use of technologies by people and organizations
• Building bridges between people developing technologies and using them
• Disseminating knowledge on technologies and users
• Participating in networks for health and safety at work

Our expertise, as we see it, is building bridges between
• Science and practice
• Technology and products
• Products and use
• Users and regulations
and the willingness to learn.
