,,Establishment of an information and implementation centre for industrial radiation techniques CentriX” is a project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under: Priority Axis I , “Utilisation of research and development activity in the economy” Action 1.1 , “Research and development activity of scientific units” of the Regional Operational Programme of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship for 2014-2020 on the basis of Grant Agreement no. RPMA.01.01.00-14-8516/17-00.The aim of the project is to create an innovation and implementation centre for industrial radiation techniques CentriX, and the basic assumption is to realise the objectives of the research agenda in line with the objectives of the regional smart specialisation of Mazovia. The laboratories created as a result of the Project will be used by industry (economic goal of the project) and science (non-economic goal of the project).

The direct objective of the CentriX project is to increase the productivity and innovation of Mazovian enterprises by supporting their ability to use ultra-modern non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, adapted to the needs of their customers and unavailable in the current economic system. Non-destructive testing (NDT), which will be carried out at the CentriX central laboratory, is primarily radiation testing. They serve, among other things, to:

• control of products, allowing: a reduction in shortages, hidden defects, the number of complaints, increased awareness of the reliability of the products of companies in the Mazovia region;
  
• quality control of raw material supplies, e.g. coal, aggregates, cement, road bases and others;
  
• technical control of infrastructure facilities, including: roads, bridges, buildings, elements of general technical infrastructure, airports, industrial facilities;
  
• control of industrial processes such as: flows and transportation of materials and raw materials;
  
• control of production infrastructure, resulting in increased reliability and reduced times of unplanned downtime, which contributes to economic efficiency.
  

The CentriX project will produce and purchase research infrastructure to serve a dual purpose: the development at the National Centre for Nuclear Research of technologies and equipment that can serve industrial customers and the direct, economic use of this infrastructure by carrying out non-destructive research and development work for entrepreneurs.
