Our Colleague, Professor Marek Moszyński has been elected IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society Distinguished Lecturer for 2009

A large computer cluster has been recently put in operation at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM) of the Warsaw University. The cluster has been developed within the framework of the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) European project. The cluster objective is to provide large computing power predominantly for new-generation nuclear physics experiments, planned mainly on the LHC facility. The cluster is developed and supported by a team including 3 physicists from our Institute: , and . of our Institute participated at some earlier stages of the Grid development. See the Warsaw group Website to read on access to the cluster resources, support available to the cluster users, training opportunities etc.

As a result of the 2 year-long NUclear Physics EXperince European project, the

http://www.nupex.org

Website has been recently put into operation. The Website presents a collection of lessons for school youth on many phenomena in the Universe, properties of our world, and many technologies rooted in nuclear physics. So far the lessons have been prepared in English, lessons in 6 other European languages are under construction.
