Prof. dr hab. Piotr Jaranowski (Faculty of Physics, University of Białystok, Poland)The first direct detection of gravitational waves
On September 14, 2015 the two LIGO detectors simultaneously observed a gravitational-wave signal coming from the merger of two stellar-mass black holes.
After very quick look at the history of gravitational-wave research, the observation as well as detectors, search algorithms, and source properties will be described in more detail.
The contribution of the Polish POLGRAW group to the discovery will be presented.

Prof. dr hab. Józef Spałek* (Instytut Fizyki im. Mariana Smoluchowskiego, Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków)Universal properties of high temperature superconductors from real space pairing
In my talk I present principal universal properties of high temperature (cuprate) superconductors and show subsequently how the theoretical model based on pairing in real space can explain those results in a quantitative manner. The emphasis in on strong electronic correlations among the relevant electrons, treated within the full Gutzwiller wave - function solution.

Prof. dr hab. Piotr Pragacz (Instytut Matematyczny PAN)Życie i dzieło Alexandra Grothendiecka
Opowiemy o Alexandrze Grothendiecku (1928-2014) jednym z największych matematyków 20. wieku. Odmienił on nasze spojrzenie na matematykę. Jego szczególne dokonania związane są z analizą funkcjonalną, ale przede wszystkim z geometrią algebraiczną.
