About Science in Poland

18.05.2018 update: 27.02.2020

Science in Poland (scienceinpoland.pap.pl) is the largest public information service devoted to Polish science. Available in both Polish and English, around two million readers visit the website every year.

The main task of Science in Poland is to provide information about the achievements of Polish scientists and to promote their accomplishments and innovations both at home and abroad. 

The website also promotes accomplishments that particularly contribute to the development of Polish science.

Once a year, Science in Poland and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education organise the Science Promoter competition which awards people and institutions whose activities have had a positive impact on promoting the achievements of science in Polish society.

Science in Poland was established in 2004 as a result of cooperation between the Ministry of Science (now Ministry of Science and Higher Education) and the Polish Press Agency (PAP).

About 15 new articles by PAP journalists and expert contributors in the fields of psychology, astronomy, philosophy and biology appear on the website every day.

Polish scientists reinterpret petroglyphs of Toro Muerto

The geometric patterns, lines and zigzags that accompany the images of dancers (danzantes) carved in the rocks of the Peruvian Toro Muerto are not snakes or lightning bolts, but a record of songs - suggest Polish scientists who analyse rock art from 2,000 years ago.
