The „Science at the Centre” is a series of meeting with scientists launched by the National Science Centre in cooperation with the Copernicus Centre Foundation. The online lectures are delivered online and viewed on the YouTube channel of the Copernicus Centre. The first lectures featured winners of the 2020 and 2021 NCN Award. Karolina Safarzyńska, Piotr Wcisło and Michał Bogdziewicz, winners of this year’s NCN Award for early-stage researchers, will talk about their research in December 2022.

Piotr Wcisło is a physicist and professor at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń who carried won the NCN Award for developing a new method of searching for dark matter, using optical atomic clocks and relying on high-precision laser spectroscopy to test quantum theory and look for a new physics beyond the standard model. He has served as a principal investigator under five NCN grants. In November 2022, he won a Starting Grant of the European Research Council for a project aimed at studying the structure of a hydrogen molecule with an improved accuracy of measurement.

Karolina Safarzyńska and Michała Bogdziewicza will deliver their lectures on 15 and 21 December 2022, respectively. Researchers may be asked questions during the meetings. All meetings will start at 6 p.m.. The footage will be available online.
