Title slide with a starry night-sky background and the Milky Way. A glowing outline of Poland is drawn in purple across the left side. Text reads “ASTROCENT: NEW BEGINNINGS” and “International Institute for Particle Astrophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences,” with the tagline “The first of its kind in Central and Eastern Europe.” The ASTROCENT logo appears in the bottom-right corner.
By decision of the Polish Academy of Sciences, we’re now the International Institute for Particle Astrophysics PAS - the first in Poland & Central/Eastern Europe! Backed by €30M EU+national funding, we’ll probe #darkmatter, #neutrinos & #gravitationalwaves.
