Prof. DSc. Eng. Adam Wysokowski
Professor Adam Wysokowski has been affiliated with the University of Zielona Góra for over 20 years. The professor's scientific and technical work, conducted as part of several dozen European and national grants, has found practical application in engineering. These achievements include innovative solutions such as highly modified expansion joints and bridge deck insulation, rubber-modified asphalt pavements, the use of post-production steel and copper aggregates, methods for assessing the load-bearing capacity and durability of existing bridges, evaluation of corrosion phenomena in steel bridges, anti-corrosion systems for steel structures, flexible culvert and eco-bridge constructions, and drainage systems for transportation infrastructure, including innovative trenchless technologies.
He also has extensive management experience as a long-time coordinator of the Bridge Management System. Professor Wysokowski’s practical expertise serves as a foundation for his teaching activities, inspiring and educating future generations of engineers.
As a long-standing expert for the European Union on surface transportation under the Horizon 2020 program (and currently Horizon Europe), as well as for the National Centre for Research and Development and the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, Professor Wysokowski plays a significant role in shaping policies and standards for road infrastructure in both Europe and Poland.

Associate Prof. Dr. Tomáš Prošek
Tomáš Prošek graduated from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague in 1996. From 2001 until 2015, he worked at RI.SE in Stockholm, Sweden, and at the Institut de la Corrosion in Brest, France. He was responsible for construction, building, and infrastructure activities with a focus on atmospheric corrosion of galvanized and coil-coated steel materials. Since 2016, he has been leading the Department of Metallic Construction Materials at Technopark Kralupy of the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague.
His research focusses on corrosion protection by metallic and organic coatings, atmospheric environmentally assisted cracking, interactions of hydrogen and metals, outdoor and accelerated corrosion testing, and corrosion monitoring.
In addition to teaching and research activities, Tomáš Prošek is the president of the Association of Czech and Slovak Corrosion Engineers (AKI) and the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC). He serves as a member of the Board of Administrators (BoA) and the Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) of EFC.
He was awarded by the Prize of the Polish Corrosion Society in 2018, Edward C. Greco Award of the International Corrosion Council for leadership in organization and conduct of the 20th International Corrosion Congress in 2017, EFC Kurt Schwabe Prize to young scientists in recognition of the scientific and technical contribution to the field of corrosion in 2006 and the Czech Business Council for Sustainable Development Award in 1996.
Secretary
Dr Eng. Łukasz Radosiński (Polish Corrosion Society)
Łukasz Radosiński graduated from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, where he obtained his M.Sc. degree in Mathematics and Solid State Physics. He completed his Ph.D. thesis at the Graduate University of Advanced Studies in Hayama and the High Energy Accelerator Laboratory (KEK) in Tsukuba, specializing in Accelerator Physics.
