The Council ensures that PIW&L reports, recommendations, and standards are based on sound knowledge – not on opinion or marketing narrative. It is a body that provides substantive direction to the institute’s activities.
What is the PIW&L Council?
The PIW&L Scientific and Expert Council is a group of experts combining academic knowledge with market experience – representing key areas of the wellness and longevity market. The Council is not a governing body of the institute. It is its intellectual backbone.

Your knowledge can shape the direction of the wellness market in Poland.
PIW&L invites experts, scientists, and practitioners,
for whom wellness and longevity are not a trend – but an area of real knowledge and responsibility.
Each expert in the PIW&L Council has specific tasks – they consult, provide opinions
and participate in projects. The Council operates without the influence of commercial partners. Intellectual independence is a condition for membership.
