Dr Sebastian Trojanowski from the Particle Astrophysics group has been placed among the 15 finalists of the 21. edition of the scientific award “Nagroda Naukowa Polityki” organised by the major Polish weekly “Polityka”. Scientific Awards of “Polityka” are scholarships for young Polish scientists to encourage their work in different scientific disciplines. Dr Trojanowski is this year’s finalists in physics.
In his research, Dr Trojanowski focuses on (astro)particle physics and dark matter studies. He is a theory co-initiator of the new far-forward experimental program at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, soon to be started with the FASER experiment. Congratulations to Sebastian and all the finalists! https://www.polityka.pl/tygodnikpolityka/nauka/2134356,1,nagrody-naukowe-oto-finalisci-21-edycji.read
On the 1st of June 2022 AstroCeNT was visited by Dr Tomasz Rzymkowski, Vice Minister of Education and Science. The purpose of the visit of our distinguished guests was twofold: to learn more about the field of particle astrophysics, including the research done at AstroCeNT, and to meet with an initiative group to build in Poland an underground laboratory.
The Vice Minister showed much interest in the initiative and encouraged the group to produce a report with more information about possible sites and about the role that the Polish underground laboratory could play in Polish science and economy, both locally and an international level.
