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.

At this year’s Mazurian Lakes Conference on Physics, the excitement went far beyond the lecture hall and onto the water. In the traditional sailing regatta, held since 1968, Professor Michał Warda from our Department, as captain, led his crew to victory!

These regattas have seen many remarkable winners throughout their history- Professor Warda has proudly joined their ranks for the third time. Congratulations!

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 symposium „Correlations, topology and superconductivity” will be devoted to the strongly correlated many-body systems, ranging from bulk materials to nanoscopic structures, with special emphasis on novel emergent phenomena. This one-day event will be held on November 14th. Its purpose is to bring renowned experts of solid-state physics from across Poland to overview the recent discoveries concerning exotic superconductivity and topologically nontrivial states of matter and to discuss novel methodological tools for studying quantum entanglement and transport properties of the strongly correlated systems and their hybrid structures. This symposium is dedicated to Professor Karol Izydor Wysokiński on the occasion of his 50-year employment at the Institute of Physics at M. Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin.

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!

The 30th Nuclear Physics Workshop, organized by the Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska, in collaboration with the Nuclear Physics Section of the Polish Physical Society and the Lublin Branch of the Polish Physical Society, took place from 23rd to 28th September in Kazimierz Dolny. The event brought together renowned international experts to discuss nuclear physics advancements. A special session was dedicated to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Polish-French scientific collaboration in nuclear research, with distinguished speakers from both countries highlighting key achievements and future perspectives. The workshop was a great success, fostering insightful exchanges of ideas and opening up new avenues for scientific collaboration.

We extend our sincere thanks to all participants and collaborators and look forward to the next edition of this prestigious event.
