On November 22-25, POLEKO’ 2011 International Trade Fair of Environmental Protection was held once again in Poznań.
This year's POLEKO and KOMTECHNIKA occupied a total area of about 17.000 m2, gathered 700 exhibitors and companies from 19 countries: Austria, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Spain, Holland, Canada, Germany, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Sweden, Ukraine, Great Britain, Italy and the USA.
Leading topic of this year's fair is "Resource Efficiency - efficient use of resources".
The 10th meeting of the Ionizing Radiation and Polymers symposium, IRaP’2012 will be held 14th-19th October, 2012, in Cracow, Poland. IRAP’2012 is organized jointly by the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, Radiation Research Foundation and Institute of Applied Radiation Chemistry (Łódź).
The IRaP'2012 meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss the developments both in the basic science in the field of radiation chemistry and physics of polymeric systems and in the area of applications of ionizing radiation in polymer chemistry and physics, new trends and ideas in radiation processing of polymers, emerging technologies and products. These topics will be addressed by international experts from academia and industry.
An International Coordination Meeting on Radiation Engineered Nanostructures organized within the framework of regional programme RER/8/014 – Supporting Radiation Synthesis and the Characterization of Nanomaterials for Health Care, Environmental Protection and Clean Energy applications was held in Warszawa, Poland in the period 16-18 November 2011. It was coordinated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. The Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT) in Warszawa was obliged to organize this meeting for the participants of the above programme.
The ART foundation was author and organizer of the project.
The program is co-funded by the Capital City of Warsaw – the Office of Education.
Partners: The Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, The Polish Chemical Society and The Museum of Maria Skłodowska - Curie.
As a partner the INCT gave substantive and technical support in project implementation, which was created to celebrate the year of Maria Skłodowska- Curie.
Warsaw, September / October 2011-At this time the project named „Following the steps of Maria Skłodowska Curie” took place on the streets of Warsaw. The project was destined to the children from classes IV – VI of the primary schools and its main purpose was to encourage children to independence in searching of information and knowledge...
The Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (INCT) operates and maintains the only radiation facility in the country. The said facility is equipped with an accelerator Electronika 1010. This facility is certified in designing and performing radiation processing of medical devices in compliance with PN-EN ISO 13485:2005 standard. Currently, it serves more than 50 companies. Most of which are manufactures of medical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics products.
On September 11-14th, in Krakow, the international conference NUTECH-2011(Recent Development and Applications of Nuclear Technologies) was held. The conference was organized by Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology, with cooperation of Institute of Nuclear Chemistry an Technology, Polish Energy Group Nuclear Energy, S.A. (PGE, Energia Jądrowa), Polish Nuclear Society (PTN), International Atomic Energy Agency, National Atomic Agency (PAA), European Nuclear Society and Municipality of Krakow. The meeting was a continuation of the former scientific symposia under the cycle “Application of nuclear technologies in industry, medicine, agriculture and environment protection”...
The 54th Annual Meeting of the Polish Chemical Society (PTChem) and the Association of Engineers and Technicians of Chemical Industry (SITPChem), organized by the team of the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, was held in Lublin, Poland, on September 18-22, 2011. Over 700 delegates from Poland and abroad participated in the Meeting. The conference was particularly ceremonial, as it took place in the centenary of the second Nobel Prize for Maria Skłodowska-Curie – in the International Year of Chemistry and the Year of Maria Skłodowska-Curie established by the Upper House of the Parliament of Poland – and moreover at the University by her name.
Brussels - October 5, 2011 - A solemn opening of an exhibition entitled “Maria Skłodowska-Curie in the Service of Science Yesterday and Today” took place yesterday evening at the European Parliament headquarters.
This year XV Festival of Science was held from 16th to 25th September in Warsaw. Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology prepared the demonstrations for participants at The Museum of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, 16 Freta Street. People of all ages were very interested in our exhibition. Participants were familiarized with ionizing radiation, methods of protection against this radiation and where we can find radiation naturally in environment. The youngest build the nuclear power plant with salt-mass. They were also familiarized with principle of operation of nuclear power plant. Additionally, they could take part in the game “Searching of the treasure”, which was the watch with 'radium' hands...
