Seminar under the patronage of the Minister of Climate and Environment

The Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw invite you to a seminar under the patronage of the Minister of Climate and Environment entitled
“Current challenges related to the implementation of the Polish Nuclear Power Program” (in Polish).
The seminar will be held on November 29, 2021 at 9:00 online.

The seminar will be held remotely via the videoconference platform. Anyone who completes the registration form will receive a link to the platform and will be able to actively participate in the seminar by asking questions to the speakers.

The next Physical Seminar of the OK PPS

The next Physical Seminar of OK Polish Physics Society will be held on the 25th of November 2021 at 16:15, online on the MS TEAMS platform.

Dr hab. Renata Kopeć, Prof. IFJ (H. Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics PAS) will present:

“Five years of proton radiotherapy with the use of a pencil scanning beam at the Cyclotron Center Bronowice IFJ PAN”,

Prof. Marek Jeżabek (The H. Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences) will deliver a lecture:

“How the CCB was built.”

Summary:
1. The Bronowice Cyclotron Center has two gantry stations where it is possible to use a scanning proton beam for cancer radiotherapy. Proton radiotherapy with the use of a pencil scanning beam is currently one of the most advanced and precise radiotherapeutic techniques using ionizing radiation. Its main advantage is the ability to precisely deliver high doses of radiation to neoplastic lesions while saving healthy tissues. On the 3sup>rd of November 2021, 5 years have passed since the start of proton radiotherapy with the use of a pencil scanning beam on gantry stations at the Bronowice Cyclotron Center at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
2. Memories from the years 2004 – 2016 and a few remarks about proton radiotherapy in Poland.

We suggest that people who did not use the MS TEAMS platform install the MS TEAMS application beforehand.
