Poland officially joins CERIC-ERIC as a full member
On March 1, 2016 Poland has formally entered CERIC-ERIC, with the decision of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education to join the consortium, and with the approval of the General Assembly of CERIC-ERIC. With this decision, the SOLARIS Centre in Kraków has been formally appointed as the Polish Partner Facility in CERIC-ERIC.
Therefore, starting from this year, Poland will offer free open access to the techniques of SOLARIS to the CERIC international users, selected by peer review. This will allow integrating these techniques with those available in the other Partner Facilities of CERIC-ERIC in Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Romania and Slovenia.
The Polish Ministry has designated Prof. Marek Stankiewicz, Director of SOLARIS, and Mr. Michał Rybiński, Chief Expert in the Department of Innovation and Development of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, as the Polish delegates to the CERIC-ERIC General Assembly, in compliance with the art. 11 of the CERIC Statute.
Carlo Rizzuto – Chair of the CERIC General Assembly, Jana Kolar – CERIC Executive Director, and the other CERIC ERIC governing bodies have welcomed with great enthusiasm this new entry in the distributed Research Infrastructure and have expressed their best wishes for a long and fruitful cooperation.
CERIC-ERIC is an integrated multidisciplinary Research Infrastructure open for basic and applied users in the fields of Materials, Biomaterials and Nanotechnology. With a single entry point to excellent facilities, it allows structural investigation, analysis and synthesis of materials, using photon, electron, neutron and ion based techniques.
