The PAS Center of Polymer and Carbon Materials in Zabrze and the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice have created a wound dressing for the 21st century. It accelerates wound healing, reduces the risk of scarring and does not need to be changed. The invention was awarded in the "Eureka! DGP" competition.
It is established by scientific institutions that during the COVID-19 pandemic have supported hospitals and sanitary epidemiological stations by carrying out tests for coronavirus. Those institutions agreed to conduct joint research and apply for grants. Medical University of Lodz is a leader of the newly established consortium, while the PAS Institute of Medical Biology is one of its partners.
EUR 2.5 million from the EU ERA Chairs program will go to the PAS Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research (IARFR PAS) for creating a Center of Excellence in nutrigenomics. This is a field that allows you to understand the impact of nutrition on genetic predisposition to diet-related chronic diseases.
Supporting natural renewal processes and reducing tree harvesting. These are the measures that should be taken to protect forests against the global warming impacts.

Why are Poles’ lives getting shorter? Which diseases are the leading causes of death? Will pandemics become commonplace? On June 22, 2020 the PAS Committee on Demographic Studies devoted its session to discuss these issues. We are sharing with you our experts’ conclusions.
Experts will monitor the course of the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland, analyze and predict its possible scenarios and put forward recommendations. They will also develop contacts with similar teams in other countries to exchange experience with them.
Unsolved mysteries of the microworld and the most difficult questions in the field of quantum thermodynamics draw up his daily bread. Krzysztof Ptaszyński, a PhD from the PAS Institute of Molecular Physics was named one of the 100 most talented young scientists awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science.
50 talented scientists from abroad will come to Poland to carry out their research in the institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Recruitment procedures will start in 2021, but preparations are already in full swing. The first consultations with excellent scientists, who have shared their experiences and insights with the Academy, are already behind us.
The theory of scientists from the PAS Institute of Physics has been experimentally confirmed by German physicists from the University of Heidelberg. The experiment concerns the formation of Pauli crystals – the structures in which atoms can arrange themselves in an unusual geometric configurations. This is another step towards the development of quantum technologies that will change our lives.
Planning a summer vacation? Think about staying in Poland and exploring lesser-known destinations. The creators of the New Panorama of Polish Literature from the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences invite you for a journey in the footsteps of Polish romantic writers.
Due to accelerating climate change the occurance of phenomenon such as droughts and floods will increase – emphasizes the Advisory Group for Climate Crisis appointed by the president of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Poland has one of the lowest water resources in Europe. Scholars call for comprehensive actions to increase water retention by protecting the natural landscape and small water rentention.
Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS) is in the top place in the prestigious Nature Index scientific institution ranking. It is based on the institution’s publication output (number of research papers published in leading scientific journals).
Sense of uncertainty around COVID-19, difficulties in getting antenatal tests, and numerous changes in prenatal care – these are just some of the reasons that may cause additional stress in pregnant women during the pandemic. Scientists from the PAS Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy and the Jagiellonian University decided to check how mother’s mental state can influence her baby.

Springer Nature publisher awarded top editorial staff (based on the authors' satisfaction survey). Editors of Mammal Research journal scored in the top performing journals. The journal is associated with the Mammal Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Białowieża. Congratulations!
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the importance of investing in science, basic research and bold research ideas. There is a concern, however, that the budget of the European Research Council (ERC) – for the most pioneering research projects – may face significant cuts. Among the notable supporters of securing funding for the ERC are prominent scholars, Noble laureates, leading scientific institutions, including Polish Academy of Sciences.
