The Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences is a prestigious, independent research centre characterised by high standards of research work. In 2016, it was awarded the “HR Excellence in Research” logo by the European Commission for complying with the highest standards in providing researchers with a stimulating work environment.

IP PAS is fully accredited to grant doctoral degrees and habilitations. The Institute can also initiate the review process for awarding titles of professor. Its primary mission is to conduct scholarly research as well as develop and mentor the pool of highly qualified scientists. Virtual Reality and Psychophysiology Laboratory carries studies in three key areas:

1. Human functioning in immersive virtual reality (VR).
2. Application of immersive VR and other virtual environments in social, cognitive, clinical, and interdisciplinary research on human-robot interactions (HRI).
3. Functioning of individuals and groups in the form of digital representation in virtual environments such as media, computer and mobile communication systems, games (in particular MMOs).
