The research on working conditions of industrial professions in the pre-industrial and industrial past will be realised by the Tarnowskie Góry Land Enthusiasts Association, and the research conducted by scientists of the Silesian University of Technology will focus on present and future technical solutions influencing working conditions. The totality constitutes unique, innovative description of the industrial works, from prehistory, through the modern times, up until futuristic vision based on the prognosis of the future works and professions.

The laboratory will be committed to broadening the interdisciplinary cooperation between the representatives of humanistic and technical sciences. Therefore, the interdisciplinary teams out of the representatives of socio-humanistic and technical sciences will be constituted.
