The next edition of Researchers’ Night starts this Friday on September 29, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. This huge European undertaking takes place simultaneously in 26 countries and also involves universities and institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences from our region. It is an excellent opportunity for direct meetings and bringing scientists and society closer together, spreading awareness of the importance of scientific research, and showing the diversity and beauty of science and its impact on the everyday life of citizens.

We encourage you to watch the trailer promoting the event and read the program prepared by our employees and other partners. See you on Friday at IMP PAS.

On September 13-15, the 7th National Conference “Kryształki Molekularne 2023”, dedicated to young entrants of science (students and PhDs) associated with various research institutions in Poland, was held at our Institute. During this year's "Kryształki Molekularne" we had the honour to listen to the inaugural lecture by Professor Józef Spałek. Three oral presentations by the participants were selected and awarded by the Poznań Branch of the Polish Physical Society. The awards were received by: Kamila Łupińska from the University of Science and Technology in Wrocław, Piotr Radomski from the University of Technology in Poznań and Marharyta Hancharova from the University of Science and Technology in Wrocław.

On September 11-15, 2023, Professor David Heyes – an expert in the field of soft matter, computer simulation methods and theory of liquids, currently associated with Imperial College London and Royal Holloway University of London, paid a short visit to our Institute. Professor Heyes has been cooperating with employees from the Department of Physics of Liquid Crystals and Dielectric Systems and the Department of Auxetics, Functional Materials and Computer Simulations for many years. The purpose of the current visit was to jointly investigate the influence of liquid isomorphism and transport coefficients. During the visit, our scientists took the opportunity to meet, discuss and exchange scientific experiences with the guest.

The board of Directors had the great pleasure of hosting prof. IFM PAN dr. hab. Maria Połomska during the celebration of her 80th birthday. The professor has been associated with our Institute since its inception and worked in the Department of Ferroelectrics for many years. She is an outstanding specialist in the field of Raman spectroscopy. Her research on the phenomenon of ferroelectricity and multiferroicity brought her international fame. Her early work on bismuth ferrate BiFeO₃, often called the "Holy Grail" of multiferroics, which predated the 21st century of "multiferroics revolution" by more than two decades, are particularly appreciated.
On the occasion of Professor Połomska’s 80th birthday, we wish the Dignified Jubilarian constant cheer and lots of strength and health.

On behalf of the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Development TYGIEL we invite participation in the upcoming scientific conferences: Direction NANO – September 23, 2023, OZE – November 16, 2023, and MATER NATURE – December 15, 2023.

These conferences are held under the honorary patronage by the Institute of Molecular Physics PAS and are thematically in line with the activities of our scientists. We strongly encourage participation in these events.
