For the first time in the history of the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (IPPLM), the Scientific Council has adopted a resolution to confer the degree of habilitated doctor. This became possible after the Institute was granted the right to award academic degrees, in accordance with Article 185(1) and Article 218 of the Act of 20 July 2018 – Law on Higher Education and Science. This historic decision was taken at the Council’s meeting on 7 July 2025 and concerned Dr. Katarzyna Batani, who was awarded the degree of habilitated doctor in the field of natural sciences, in the discipline of physical sciences.
After reviewing the full documentation of the habilitation procedure – including expert reviews of the scientific achievement and the resolution of the Habilitation Committee containing a detailed justification – the Scientific Council of IPPLM concluded that Dr. Katarzyna Batani’s scientific, teaching and science communication achievements meet the criteria required for the award of the degree of habilitated doctor.
Dr. Katarzyna Batani’s academic portfolio is available on the IPPLM website under the section on habilitation procedures: https://tiny.pl/vfvpp-jq
