The Faculty of Biological Sciences (FBS) was established on the basis of the senate resolution no 218 of the University of Zielona Gora on February 28th 2007. The Resolution came into effect on September 1st 2007. The decision to set up the FBS was connected with the necessity of developing scientific research as well as educating in the scope of the biological sciences at the University of Zielona Gora. The aim of establishing the Faculty of Biological Sciences was to make an effort to meet the challenges of the contemporary science as well go the needs connected with solving the problems concerning the human and the quality of the natural environment. The history connected with establishing the FBS goes back to 1994 when the Institute of Biotechnology and Environmental Protection was appointed in the Higher Pedagogical College. The Institute had its modest registered office in Monte Cassino ST. 21b. At the beginning there were very few scientific and didactic team workers who made efforts to teach the Environmental Protection students. With the passage of time, both the didactic and scientific basis was developed. In 2007 the considerable part of the Institute was moved to the new building in Prof. Z. Szafrana St. 1 The internal organization of the Faculty and the development of the research personnel as well as the scientific material basis are changing dynamically.
