We are very pleased to announce that in the 27th edition of the OPUS competition, Dr. Piotr Graczyk's project entitled “Charge-mediated magneto-electric effects for wireless applications” has received the National Science Centre (NCN) funding (1.549.120 PLN) – read more about the project.

The grant application was evaluated in the ST3 (Condensed Phase Physics) panel, where 6 proposals received funding out of the 30 submitted.

Under the OPUS-27 competition, NCN funding was also granted to the project entitled “Interaction of magnetorheological elastomer with magnetic materials in soft robotics application”. The project will be carried out in the consortium with the Poznań University of Technology (Faculty of Automatic Control, Robotics and Electrical Engineering); coordinator at IMP PAS: Dr. hab. Karol Synoradzki. The grant application was evaluated in the ST7 (Systems Engineering) panel – read more about the project.

We warmly congratulate our laureates and wish them fruitful results and satisfaction with their research.
