Institute of High Pressure Physics

DRIP21 – the 21st International Conference on Defects Recognition, Imaging and Physics in Semiconductors will take place in Warsaw, Poland, from 30 August to 3 September 2026.

The conference is organized by the Institute of High Pressure Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and is part of a long-standing, internationally recognized series of scientific meetings devoted to the physics of defects in semiconductor materials. The DRIP21 program will address key topics including defects in wide-bandgap semiconductors, 2D materials and perovskites, quantum and spin defects, as well as advanced techniques for defect detection, imaging, and modeling. The Program Committee Chair is prof. Julita Smalc-Koziorowska from the Laboratory od Semiconductor Characterization (NL-12).

Abstract submission has just opened and researchers are invited to contribute. More information is available at https://drip21.pl/.

Zapraszamy pracowników IWC PAN na praktyczne szkolenie pt. "RepOD – jak przygotowywać i udostępniać dane", które poprowadzi Karol Kawka z Laboratorium Krystalizacji NL-3 naszego Instytutu.

Szkolenie będzie mieć formę tutorialu i odbędzie się on-line w czwartek 12.02.2026, godz. 15:00. Szczegółowe informacje i link do spotkania Zoom w komunikacji mejlowej.

The Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability (IMaSS), Nagoya University (Japan) celebrated its 10th anniversary in December 2025. Due to the active cooperation between IMaSS and our institute, we were invited to participate in this celebration. It was an honor for IHPP PAS and a meaningful sign of the strong relationship and scientific cooperation between our institutions.

On the occasion of the anniversary, Professor Michał Boćkowski, Director of the Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS, presented IMaSS with a commemorative trophy with GaN crystal inside. In response, Professor Tomomi Uchiyama, Director of IMaSS, sent an official letter of appreciation to our Institute, emphasizing the significance of this thoughtful gesture and expressing his hope for continued collaboration and further development of academic ties between the institutions.

We would like to thank IMaSS, Nagoya University for the warm welcome and kind words, and we wish continued success in its research activities.

54th International School & Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors "Jaszowiec 2026" will be held on June 13-19, 2026, in Szczyrk, Poland.

For over half a century, the Jaszowiec Conference has been connecting the national scientific community with leading international researchers, fostering collaborations, inspiring joint projects, and nurturing lasting friendships worldwide.

The 54th edition will begin with a two-day tutorial School (June 13-14, 2026) chaired by Dr. hab. inż. Michał Baranowski from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. The School is dedicated to graduate students and young scientists. It will be followed by the Conference (June 15-19, 2026) chaired by Prof. dr hab. Piotr Perlin from the Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS.

The program will cover cutting-edge topics such as quantum and low-dimensional systems, light-matter interaction, magnetism and spin phenomena, devices and applications, and growth and characterization - presented through plenary lectures, topical sessions, and evening discussions for early-career researchers. The 54th edition will also include industrial lectures, an exhibition, and job fair for students.
