In 2024, the Adam Mickiewicz University Press released monograph in Polish "Promieniowanie synchrotronowe w fizyce i chemii ciała stałego: wybrane zagadnienia", edited by Bogdan J. Kowalski and Wojciech Paszkowicz. The publication was funded by the Polish Synchrotron Radiation Society. The book is available in open access and includes an introduction to the physics of synchrotron radiation, methods for its generation and the construction of sources, as well as information on the possibilities of utilizing such radiation in various fields of science.

Structural biology will use advanced methods such as electron microscopy aided by artificial intelligence. This will change the landscape of biological sciences. However, the crucial importance of experimental research should not be overlooked, these were the conclusions of the iNext-Discovery Foresight Meeting, held July 8-10 at the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre.

Nanotexnology 2024 is a combination of four parallel scientific conferences (ISFOE24, NN24, I3D24 and ISSON24), an exhibition space (EXPO) and business events (BUSINESS FORUM). A delegation from the SOLARIS Centre attended the event as part of the LEAPS-INNOV project, introducing participants to the synchrotron's research capabilities and project offerings.

Professor Maria Mrówczyńska, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, visited Krakow, where on July 4th, during a series of meetings, she met with the Rector of the Jagiellonian University and the management of the SOLARIS Center. The visit aimed to discuss key issues related to the development of science and higher education in Poland, as well as to become familiar with the activities of the country's only synchrotron infrastructure.
