Transforming the University of Warsaw into an internationally recognised research university is one of the strategic objectives of this institution.

Therefore, on 1 February 2017 a new model of allocating subsidies from central funds was introduced. They are divided into three categories:

1. SUBSIDIES FOR INCREASING THE CAPACITY TO OBTAIN PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL GRANTS
2. SUBSIDIES FOR RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY UNITS OPERATING WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW
3. MICROGRANTS

Additional information.

Jorrit de Boer, outstanding physicist and retired professor of Ludwig
Maximilian University in Munich, passed away on February 1st, 2017. He was
a long term collaborator and a friend of Heavy Ion Laboratory.

Professor de Boer created an early implementation of the Coulomb Excitation analysis method (COULEX computer code) that became a cornerstone of many later codes and methods developed in Rochester and Warsaw (the GOSIA code) and elsewhere.

The jury of the  Heavy Ion Laboratory Prize, founded by prof. T. Inamura, at the meeting held on 16 January 2017, recommended a laureate of the seventh edition of the Prize.

The recommended laureate is Dr Katarzyna Hadyńska-Klęk.

Congratulations!
