The purpose of the visit was to extend the cooperation between ESRF and IF PAN within the framework of the project “Polish Contribution to the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility,” funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, as well as to promote ESRF research opportunities among the Polish scientific community and to discuss the framework of a new five-year cooperation project currently under preparation. The arrangement, valid until the end of 2026, was signed on the first day of the meeting.
The delegation also visited the laboratories of the MagTop - International Centre for Interfacing Magnetism and Superconductivity with Topological Matter - where the guests were guided by the Deputy Head of the Division for Scientific Affairs, Prof. Tomasz Wojtowicz.
In the afternoon, an open mini-symposium entitled “Poland @ ESRF: Research and Perspectives” was held, focusing on ESRF research opportunities and the future development of the Polish synchrotron user community. The event was attended by representatives of Polish research institutions as well as users of synchrotron infrastructure.
On the second day of the visit, representatives of ESRF and IF PAN met with Prof. Maria Mrówczyńska, Undersecretary of State, and representatives of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The discussions concerned ESRF’s scientific potential, the activity of Polish research teams, and Poland’s continued involvement in the development of this international research infrastructure.
