Stowarzyszenie Wspierania Techniki Polskiej

What Stowarzyszenie Wspierania Techniki Polskiej does

Stowarzyszenie Wspierania Techniki Polskiej (SWTP) is a Polish non-profit association founded in 2015 and headquartered in Warsaw, operating as a member organization of the FSNT-NOT federation, which represents approximately 80,000 engineers and technicians across 40 scientific-technical associations in Poland. SWTP operates as an "integrator" bridging disciplinary silos within the Polish engineering community, with regional branches in Poznań (established 2022) and Szczecin (established 2024). Its mission is to popularize scientific and technical knowledge and rebuild a knowledge-based society in Poland, primarily targeting youth and students aged 16-26, scientific-technical associations, Polish local government units, and Ukrainian refugees.

SWTP's core offerings are a suite of digital platforms co-developed with technology partner NOT Informatyka Sp. z o. o. The Virtual Meeting System (VMS) is a browser-based professional communication platform supporting online meetings, webinars, voting, elections, and document circulation with subcontracted remote conferencing deployment. The Olimpiada Wiedzy Technicznej (OWT) platform digitizes Poland's oldest technical olympiad, enabling multi-stage online competitions. Prize Charger is an innovative educational-tournament format culminating in a televised quiz show, with the II edition held in November 2025 on hydrogen energy. TV NOT is the organization's internet television channel for engineering content. Supporting tools include the eNOT.pl portal, nConference registration system, and the SUNDO event agency.

SWTP's revenue model is diversified across four streams: recurring membership dues (governed by internal resolution Uchwała nr 1/11/2022), professional service fees for VMS rentals and event hosting at the Warsaw House of Technology, 1.5% personal income tax donations enabled by its December 2024 OPP status (KRS 0000583728), and co-financing from European Commission Erasmus+ projects. The organization operates with a 6-employee staff and is governed by President Kamil Wójcik (who also serves as CEO of NOT Informatyka and Vice-President of FSNT-NOT), Vice-President Tomasz Krawczyk, and Vice-President Katarzyna Łobacz. Financial figures are not publicly disclosed.
