On September 16–18, 2025, the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science at UMCS hosted the 31st edition of the international scientific conference Nuclear Physics Workshop. The event, organized by the Department of Theoretical Physics at UMCS in cooperation with the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Świerk, brought together distinguished researchers and experts from around the world, including France, Germany, China, and the United States. The conference served as a forum for presenting the latest scientific achievements and exchanging experiences in the field of nuclear physics.

This year’s edition had a special character — it was dedicated to the jubilee of Professor Krzysztof Pomorski, an outstanding scientist of international recognition, who for many years has been included on the prestigious list of the 2% most frequently cited researchers worldwide. Professor Pomorski was associated with UMCS for over half a century and, since January 2025, has continued his scientific activity at the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Świerk.

The President of UMCS, Professor Radosław Dobrowolski, honoured the opening ceremony of the Conference with his presence with congratulations and warm wishes to the Jubilee on behalf of the academic community. The 3 day meeting gathered researchers from Poland and abroad and brought inspiring presentations and lively scientific discussions.

Professors Bożena Nerlo-Pomorska and Krzysztof Pomorski have published a new academic textbook entitled Theory of Atomic Nuclei: Foundations with the prestigious American publisher CRC Press. The book provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to nuclear theory, presenting fundamental nuclear models and tracing their historical development. It is based on the authors’ long-standing lecture courses delivered in Poland, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, and China, as well as on their extensive scientific contributions. This publication marks an important achievement for the nuclear physics community and highlights the international recognition of research conducted by scholars from Lublin. The book will be available for purchase shortly.

Congratulations!

The 10th Conference of the Polish Relativistic Society (POTOR) took place in Kazimierz Dolny from September 16 to 20, 2024. This year, the organizers were physicists from the Department of Theoretical Physics at UMCS, in collaboration with the Lublin branch of the Polish Physical Society. Guests from Poland and abroad discussed current issues in gravity theory, its quantum generalizations, gravitational waves, dark matter, and cosmology.

During the conference, new POTOR authorities were elected, with Prof. Patryk Mach from UJ becoming president and Prof. Marek Rogatko from UMCS appointed as vice-president.

Congratulations!
