As the history of PPP in Poland is not very long, there is still little knowledge of the method, and hence much suspicion about it, which can be overcome, though, during the course, by learning from the best experts in Poland, who have experience in successfully implementing PPP projects (e.g. the refurbishment of the railway station in Sopot, the construction of a waste incineration plant, thermal insulation projects, etc.). The projects which have been implemented as part of the course include the construction of a marina, a columbarium, nursery schools, underground car parks, hospitals and safe walkways along expressways. Those who have completed the programme are constantly working on new Polish PPP projects.
