IFJ PAN Astrophysics Forum

The Astrophysics Forum brings together researchers who work across diverse fields of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

It aims to foster a shared academic community, support scientific growth, knowledge exchange, and collaboration.

Through seminars, discussions, and shared expertise of PhD students, postdocs, and specialists, the Forum seeks

to build a common platform that deepens our collective understanding and appreciation of the cosmos.

Pierre Auger Observatory
Pierre Auger Observatory
The world’s largest cosmic-ray detector, spanning over 3,000 km² and combining a vast array of surface detectors with fluorescence telescopes to study ultra-high-energy particles from the most extreme regions of the universe and uncover their origins.
