Nitrogen+Syngas 2026 is currently taking place in Barcelona — one of the most important international events dedicated to the nitrogen and syngas sectors. Representatives of the Łukasiewicz – Institute of New Chemical Syntheses are actively participating in the meeting.

Warmest thoughts and best wishes

For a wonderful holiday

And a very Happy New Year

We cordially invite you to the next edition of the International Conference “Science and Industry – Challenges and Opportunities” (SICO2026), which will take place from June 23 to 25, 2026, in Lublin (Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin – Konstantynow 1i St.) and in Puławy (Puławski Park Naukowo-Technologiczny – Mościckiego 1 St.). The event will be an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences and discuss the most important challenges and prospects for cooperation between science and industry.

On December 2, 2025, a hybrid meeting was held regarding the implementation of the international project Kava 13 “SEEZn. Sustainable and Energy Efficient Solutions for the ZnO Market.” During the meeting, all members of the project consortium presented the results of the research conducted so far and discussed directions for further activities. The meeting enabled an exchange of knowledge and experience among the project partners and served as an inspiration for subsequent research efforts.

Dr. Kamila Michalska from the Catalysts Research Group at Łukasiewicz - INS is among the winners of the 9th edition of the Miniatura competition funded by the National Science Centre. Her research will focus on aspects related to the search for new synthesis pathways for catalysts used in the Sabatier reaction, i.e., the catalytic conversion of CO₂ and hydrogen to methane (SNG – Synthetic Natural Gas). The research will include the design of materials with advanced geometry that facilitates efficient heat dissipation during the methanation process conducted at elevated temperatures to drastically reduce the risk of hot spots. The implementation of this proposed research project will expand knowledge of new structural catalysts.
