CAMK Annual Meeting 2026

FEB 04 - FEB 06 2026 

Every year, all CAMK PAN employees are invited to review their recent achievements in the past year. This is the most important meeting of the institute, which connects the whole society from all branches, allowing  to exchange experiences between different research groups. Scientists and administrative staff from Toruń and Astrocent are coming to our headquarters to interact scientifically and socially.

 

For those who are unable to attend in person, a remote participation option via Zoom will be available. The Zoom meeting link will be visible to registered and logged-in participants in the left-hand menu.
