What's new at Łukasiewicz – PORT?

Last weekend, the Łukasiewicz – PORT campus turned into a game board full of scientific adventures. Family teams faced puzzles and experiments, discovering the secrets of science in an unusual form of a field game.
The Congress of the Polish Society for Neuroscience Research is the most important recurring event for the brain research community in Poland. This year, for the first time in its history, the Congress will be held in Wrocław. The organization involves scientists from six institutions conducting neuroscience research – all signatories of the Wrocław BioTech Hub. The event will gather 300 scientists, clinicians, and representatives of the biotech industry from around the world, as well as leading international organizations supporting brain research (FENS, IBRO).
With young explorers and their families in mind, we are once again opening our campus on Stabłowicka Street. On June 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., we invite you to take part in an exciting outdoor adventure game that combines learning with fun and offers a great opportunity to spend time together in the fresh air.
Today, the Gardens of Experiments were filled with colours, hands-on activities, and children’s laughter. All thanks to Zmysłowe Slimowisko – a free educational workshop for children organized as part of the nationwide European Funds Open Days 2025.
On 22 April 2025, Łukasiewicz – PORT hosted 18 students from Wrocław University of Science and Technology and the University of Wrocław for a one-day workshop organized as part of the SAME-NeuroID Spring School. The event, held onsite in Wrocław, provided participants with a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of neurobiology and to discuss potential career paths with researchers from the SAME-NeuroID network.
PORT for Health: Neuroscience 2025 once again brought world-class neuroscience experts, clinicians and entrepreneurs to Łukasiewicz – PORT. This year’s edition focused on innovative approaches to understanding brain disorders, including neuroimmune interactions and the use of advanced computational tools to study behaviour and neurodegeneration.
Once again, Łukasiewicz – PORT will host scientists, clinicians, and entrepreneurs connected with the field of neurobiology. This year, however, the conference will be organized for the first time under the banner of P4Health, a strategic project for Łukasiewicz – PORT. Thanks to support from the Teaming for Excellence programme of Horizon Europe, the Institute is implementing activities aimed, among others, at optimizing the diagnosis of neurobiological diseases. These topics will be at the heart of discussions during the conference, which begins on 7 April.
Another seminar organized within the SAME–NeuroID project will focus on the latest therapeutic strategies for patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Professor Richard Robitaille from the Department of Neurosciences at the University of Montreal will give his lecture on 3 April at 14:00 at Łukasiewicz – PORT.
Representatives of partner institutions, local governments, scientific and educational organizations from the Polish–Saxon border region, as well as all those interested in the planned activities, met on 25 March at the Bolesławiec Cultural Centre for the inauguration of the Cross-Border Experience Gardens project.
As part of the SAME-NeuroID project, which aims to develop more effective diagnostic methods and therapies for psychiatric patients, a scientific seminar entitled “Application of AI Techniques in Medical Imaging” has been scheduled. The seminar will take place on 27 March at 2:00 PM and will be delivered by Dr Martin Tabakow from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, a specialist in the analysis and processing of medical images using advanced artificial intelligence techniques.
