On July 23 Dr. eng. Łukasz Lindner was appointed by the Marshal of the Wielkopolska Region, Mr. Marek Woźniak, to participate in the works of the Wielkopolska Hydrogen Platform.

The Wielkopolska Hydrogen Platform is an opinion-forming and advisory body of the Province Government of the Wielkopolska Region, acting to popularize and implement hydrogen technology in the Region, as well as to organize conferences and meetings devoted to hydrogen issues.

Dr. Eng. Andrzej Musiał was nominated for the Polish Intelligent Development Award 2020 in the category of Future Scientist for the project "Magnetically hard materials without lanthanides obtained from structurally metastable phases" financed by the National Science Center.

Nominations for the Polish Intelligent Development Award are granted to people who set trends in intelligent and sustainable development, influencing the ever-changing market.

From June 29 to July 10 the XXXVI Scientific Workshop "Summer with Helium" will be held. The theme of this year's workshop is "Physics of Tomorrow". Exceptionally, for the first time in 35 years, the workshop will not take place in Odolanów, but will be available online on the YouTube channel Science 5.0.

We invite you to check the workshop program and participate in these extremely interesting lectures - with the possibility to ask questions.

"Molecular Physics Kindergarten" is a new offer of IMP PAS addressed to high school students. The goal of "Kindergarten" is to familiarize young people with current scientific issues and their participation in research carried at the Institute.

The first year 2019/2020 lectures were attended by students of three high schools: Zespół Szkół Nr 1 im. Powstańców Wielkopolskich in Swarzędz, XXXVIII Dwujęzyczne Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Jana Nowaka-Jeziorańskiego in Poznań and Liceum Ogólnokształcące Św. Marii Magdaleny in Poznań.

We invite schools and young physics enthusiasts to cooperate with us in the next school year. Details will be available soon on our website.

Our Institute has become an official partner and co-organizer of the European Researchers' Night in Poznań, and the beneficiary of the project H2020-MSCA-NIGHT-2020 "Scientists from various fields teach us how to care for the planet on a daily basis. Nightforearth" (The European Researchers' Night), Horizon 2020 (EU). The application for financing of this year's event received the maximum number of points from the European Commission. The project coordinator on the part of the Institute of Molecular Physics PAS is dr inż. Dorota Dardas.

The European Researchers' Night at the Institute of Molecular Physics PAS has been organized for two years. Until now, it took place in the form of the event "In the labyrinth of physics", which accompanied the Europe-wide celebration of the Researchers' Night.

Due to the current epidemic situation, the event date has been moved to November 27th, 2020, and the program and organization of the event will be adapted to changing conditions on an ongoing basis.

Two our scientists have been granted within the 35th edition of NCN competitions.

Mgr inż. Sylwia Zięba, will carry out research for PRELUDIUM 18 project "Influence of temperature and pressure on the helical hydrogen bond network of a new solid electrolytes.” (funding amount - 209 996 PLN).

Dr Mirosław Werwiński, received funding for the project under the new PRELUDIUM BIS 1 competition, which main goal is to support the education of doctoral students in doctoral schools and to finance research projects carried out by doctoral students as part of their doctoral dissertation . The applicant received 444,000 PLN for the project "Future permanent magnets from design".
