On Friday, September 26th, from 4:00 p.m., we invite you to our Institute for the next edition of Researchers' Night. This is a unique evening where real science and the daily work of researchers transform into a fascinating adventure open to everyone! It's a perfect opportunity to delve into the world of physics, discover curiosities from related fields, and try your hand at experiments. This year, we've prepared a range of attractions – from workshops and demonstrations (registration required) to open stands open to all visitors. Children are welcome under adult supervision! Join us and discover the secrets of science in a friendly and fun atmosphere. Detailed information is available on the local event website.

On June 14, the second edition of the conference titled "Poznań Science Slam" will take place at the Faculty of Biology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. This event will enable science enthusiasts and young science students from all over Poland to develop their interests and create a unique opportunity to present their own research, analyses and innovations.

Our Institute took honorary patronage over this unique conference. The winner of the special prize will be able to take part in this year's Scientific Workshops “Summer with Helium".

We wish all conference speakers successful speeches.

We invite you to participate in free scientific events organized by the TYGIEL Foundation. As part of this series, on June 11 at 10:00 AM, Dr. Iwona Płowaś-Korus from our Institute will lead a webinar entitled “Science without borders: how to independently navigate the path from idea to international partnership.” During the session, practical tools will be presented to help you start an international scientific career – regardless of your current level of experience.

On behalf of the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Development TYGIEL we invite participation in the conference entitled Interdisciplinarity as a key to development (March 20-22, 2025) which is held under the honorary patronage by the Institute of Molecular Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. We encourage to take part in this unique conference and wish everyone interested in participating in this event fruitful meetings and inspiring scientific discussions.

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.

On 17 October 2024, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Poznań Branch of the Polish Physical Society (OP PTF). The ceremony was a great celebration of the physics community from Poznań. This unique event was honoured by the presence of the President of the OP PTF - Prof. Teresa Rząca-Urban and by the speeches of eminent scientists connected with Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poznań University of Technology, Poznań University of Life Sciences, and the Institute of Molecular Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The event was attended by young physics entrants (PhD students, undergraduates, and members of scientific societies), as well as physics teachers and many schoolchildren. The latter were able to participate in a number of interesting demonstrations prepared by the staff and doctoral students from various research centres, including scientists from the IMP PAS.

We would like to thank Prof. IMP PAS Andrzej Łapiński (the President of the OP PTF) and the entire Organising Committee, headed by Mikołaj Baranowski (the Member of the Council of the OP PTF), for their efforts in organising the event.
