We are pleased to announce that 3 people from our Institute have been awarded grants:

• Ms Maja Szymczak, MA - for the project entitled "Synthesis and study of the spectroscopic properties of XGa2O4:Ni2+ (X = Zn, Mg, Ca) for applications in luminescence manometry" (PRELUDIUM 22)
• Prof. Dr. Mirosław Mączka - for the project entitled "Synthesis, lattice dynamics and tunable ferroelectric and optical properties of multilayer hybrid perovskites" (OPUS 25)
• in consortium with Prof. Dr. Michał Brik from the Jan Długosz University of Humanities and Sciences in Częstochowa, Prof. Dr. Łukasz Marciniak for the project entitled. "Multiparametric database of luminophores on Mn4+ ions for the development of knowledge in the field of lifetime-based luminescence thermometry: a synergistic combination of experiment and theory based on machine learning" (OPUS 25)
