During the 49th Congress of Polish Physicists, held from September 5–11, 2025, in Katowice, the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (IPPLM) was represented both among the speakers and in the event's organizational structures.
The Congress Program Committee included Dr. hab. Monika Kubkowska, IPPLM director, who was co-responsible for the content of this year's conference.
Three researchers from the Institute presented in the thematic session "Modern Technologies in Physics":
- Dr. hab. Agata Chomiczewska with a presentation entitled "Breakthrough scientific achievements in the field of nuclear fusion research",
- Dr. Eng. Natalia Wendler who presented the results of the work entitled "Analysis of plasma contamination in the baseline scenario during deuterium-tritium experiments on the JET tokamak",
- Dr. Eng. Agnieszka Zaraś-Szydłowska with the presentation "Comprehensive interferometry in laser plasma research".

About the Congress of Polish Physicists
The Congress of Polish Physicists is the largest regular physics conference in Poland, organized biennially by the Polish Physical Society in collaboration with leading academic centres. This year's edition was co-organized by the University of Silesia in Katowice.
The event provides a key forum for the exchange of knowledge and experiences among the physics community, enabling the presentation of achievements in various branches of physics, as well as related sciences and technologies used in experiments and theory development. The program includes lectures, thematic panels, student and poster sessions, presentations by scientific circles, and a session facilitating networking between students and future employers.
The congress has a history spanning over a century. The first meeting of physicists took place in Warsaw in 1923. Since then, this event has almost continuously supported the development of national research centres, integrating the research community, and promoting the achievements of Polish physics on a national forum.
