On 16 July 2026, a delegation from the Ministry of Energy visited the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (IPPLM) as part of the quarterly meetings between the Institute’s management and its supervising ministry. The delegation comprised Paweł Gajda, Director of the Nuclear Energy Department; Anna Pogorzelska-Fuz, Deputy Director of the Department; Andrzej Chwas, Head of Unit; and Kamila Goławska, Chief Specialist at the Department.

The visit began with a meeting with the IPPLM management: Dr hab. Monika Kubkowska, Director of IPPLM; Dr hab. Agata Chomiczewska, Deputy Director for Scientific Affairs; and Paweł Nadrowski, Deputy Director for Administration. The discussions covered the Institute’s current situation, progress in the implementation of its research projects, and prospects for the further development of its research capacity.

The programme continued with a tour of the IPPLM laboratories and a presentation of the Institute’s research infrastructure and equipment. The delegation saw the 10 TW femtosecond laser and its associated diagnostic systems at the High Power Laser Laboratory, as well as the PF-1000U facility, one of the world’s largest plasma focus devices. The visitors also toured the Laboratory of Plasma Nudge for Satellites (PlaNS) and the Laboratory of Plasma Research with Spectroscopic Methods.

The visit provided representatives of the Ministry of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Department with first-hand insight into IPPLM’s laboratory infrastructure and technical capabilities supporting the Institute’s research activities.
