Institute of High Pressure Physics

Dear Colleagues,

on the next seminar in the series of IHPP PAS Seminars on Physics and Technology you will have the opportunity to learn about hydrogen storage using high pressure technologies.

Please, save the date on July 28, 2021 (Wednesday next week) at 10:00 am.

The title of the presentation is: „Hydrogen as an energy carrier - high-pressure technologies and IHPP PAS capabilities" (PL) Wodór jako nośnik energii – technologie wysokociśnieniowe i możliwości IWC PAN.

The talk will be given by dr Andrzej Morawski, prof. Stanisław Filipek and dr Tomasz Cetner from Laboratory of Superconductors (NL-6).

W uznaniu  dorobku naukowego oraz istotnego wkładu w rozwój współpracy naukowej między Polska, a Ukrainą, Prof. Izabella Grzegory została wybrana Członkiem Zagranicznym Narodowej Akademii Nauk Ukrainy.
Gratulacje od Prezesa NANU, Profesora Anatola Zagorodnego

W bliskiej współpracy z Instytutem Materiałów Supertwardych w Kijowie, w IWC PAN realizowany jest projekt OPUS 12 GaNDia „Termodynamika i kinetyka syntezy i krystalizacji GaN w układach stosowanych do krystalizacji diamentu”.
Młodzi fizycy z Ukrainy pracujący w IWC PAN zaangażowani są także w badania  fundamentalnych własności GaN i InN w ekstremalnych ciśnieniach i temperaturach.

We are pleased to inform that the Scientific Council of the Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IHPP PAS) at the zoom meeting on May 25, 2021 awarded Dr. Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska the Habilitation Doctor degree in Physical Sciences for the thesis entitled:

Experimental Investigations of Previtrification Dynamics in Liquid and Plastic Crystals

The dissertation was submitted to Scientific Excellence Council on March 30, 2020. The Scientific Excellence Council send the dissertation documentation to the Scientific Council of IHPP PAS upon which the Scientific Council agreed to conduct habilitation proceedings on July 1, 2020, and approved the final habilitation commission on December 23, 2020. At the zoom meeting on March 12, 2021 the Commission adopted resolution stating that the habilitation thesis of Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska, PhD, represents a significant contribution to the development of the discipline of physical sciences and expressed a positive opinion on awarding Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska the Habilitation Doctor degree in natural sciences in the discipline of physical sciences. In accordance with the recommendation of the committee the Scientific Council of IHPP PAS at a zoom meeting on 25 May 2021 in a secret ballot approved the resolution to award Dr Aleksandra Drozd-Rzoska the Habilitation Doctor degree in Physical Sciences.

We sincerely congratulate and wish many successes in the future

The PASIFIC Fellowship Programme is a unique opportunity for researchers who want to undertake state-of-the-art research in a dynamic scientific environment. It will enable scholars of all nationalities and across all scientific disciplines to establish their scientific independence and conduct ground-breaking research.

For 2 years, the fellows will be hosted at one of the institutes within the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS), which is one of the most prestigious research institutions in Poland. They will have the freedom to choose their research area, research supervisor, host institute as well as secondment organisations best suited for their research and career development.

The PASIFIC Fellows will be offered a monthly allowance of approx. €2,500 net. Those, who decide to come to Poland together with their families, may be entitled to an additional family allowance. In addition, they will be granted a research budget of up to €93,000 per project.

50 outstanding scientists will be selected in the two calls announced in 2021:

• The first call, in which 35 PASIFIC fellows will be recruited, will be open from March 15^th, 2021 to June 30^th, 2021. Selected researchers will be informed about evaluation results after approx. six months. They will be expected to come to Poland between January 2022 and March 2022.
• The second call, in which 15 PASIFIC fellows will be recruited, will be open from September 15^th, 2021 to December 30^th, 2021. Selected researchers will be informed about evaluation results after approx. six months. They will be expected to come to Poland between July 2022 and October 2022.
