Department of Acoustics, Faculty of Physics AMU

The Department of Acoustics at the Adam Mickiewicz University is the only “university representative” of acoustics in Poland. At present, the Department employs 28 researchers, including four professors, seven AMU professors and ten doctors.

There are research groups in the Department of Acoustics, dealing with various research topics, including: psychoacoustics, environmental acoustics, speech acoustics, hearing aids, audiology, electroacoustics, room acoustics, auditory-visual interaction, artificial intelligence and magnetic and electric ultrasound spectroscopy. In 2022, the Department of Acoustics established permanent cooperation with the Inter-Faculty Cognitive Neuroscience Center, whose laboratory is located at the Faculty of Physics of the Adam Mickiewicz University.

Psychoacoustics is a leading research area and focuses on analyzing the mechanisms of the hearing system for normal-hearing people and for people  with hearing loss. The nature of these studies correlates well with the works of the following research groups which focus on the human response to sound: psychophysiology of hearing for people with normal hearing and hearing loss, speech intelligibility, measurement and evaluation of tinnitus, environmental acoustics in the assessment of noise annoyance; electroacoustics – evaluation of electroacoustic transducers; and room acoustics – evaluating the sound propagation in rooms for different applications.
The Department of Acoustics conducts scientific and research cooperation with many national and foreign centers: the University of Cambridge (UK.), the University of Stockholm (Sweden), the Munich University of Technology, the University of Göttingen (Germany), the Kyushu Institute of Design, the Sendai University, the University of Tokyo,  The University of Manchester (UK) and The University of Minnesota (USA).

The positive outcomes of this foreign cooperation are the titles of Honoris Causa Doctor of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, which have been awarded to leading acousticians: Professor Józef J. Zwisłocki (Syracuse University, USA) in 1991, and Professor Brian Cecil Joseph Moore (the University of Cambridge), in 2015.

The Conference (in a hybrid form) will be held at the Morasko Campus, Faculty of Physics, Adam Mickiewicz University, in fully equipped conference halls. Exhibitors will be provided with a well-located exhibition area.

Poznań University of Technology

Poznań University of Technology (PUT) is one of Poland’s top academic institutions, ranked 8th among academic universities and 5th among technical universities in the 2024 Perspektywy ranking.

With 41 fields of study—including 8 programs in English—across 9 faculties, PUT offers a dynamic learning environment for over 14,000 students, supported by nearly 1,500 academic staff. Students thrive through 82 Student Research Groups and 14 Student Organizations, earning recognition at national and international levels.

PUT leads the way in international collaboration as the only public university in Poland heading a European University alliance, connecting 10 institutions and expanding student mobility across Europe. It also hosts western Poland’s only Center for Aviation Education, with a dedicated aircraft base at the Kąkolewo Campus.

The university was selected by the European Space Agency to implement flagship initiatives, such as Spaceship Poland and ESA Phi-Lab Poland, affirming its role in cutting-edge research.

The Institute of Computer Science at the Faculty of Computer Science and Telecommunications is a national leader in AI, operations research, decision support, bioinformatics, and audio processing. In 2024, seven researchers from the Institute were named among the world’s top 2% scientists by Stanford University.

PUT maintains strong ties with industry through internships, joint research, competitions, and implementation projects, preparing students for real-world challenges.

Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC)

Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) affiliated to the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences is an internationally known node of the European Research Area in the field of IT infrastructure of science and an important R&D center in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT). As a development centre of e-Infrastructure, PSNC designed and built the Metropolitan Network POZMAN, High Performance Computing Center and the national broadband network PIONIER, maintained and still developed by PSNC.

PSNC is an important element of global research and development base, implementing projects mainly under the European Union Framework Programmes, but also supporting R&D initiatives with more than a thousand partners from around the world. PSNC has participated and participates in 272 such projects, coordinating 26 of them. For more than three decades of its activity 381 research and structural projects have already been implemented in the Centre (coordinating as many as 56 of them), which is one-seventh of all PSNC projects.
Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) affiliated with the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences has been operating since 1993 with a mission: “Integration and development of information infrastructure for science”. A rich, multi-domain list of areas of activity undertaken by PSNC is the result of the continuation of the idea based on searching for innovations inspired by ICT, the effect of which is applied in complete implementations of digital science and industry.

Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts

Higher education institution for art studies was established in Poznan in 1919 as School of Decorative Arts (Szkoła Zdobnicza). Initially it focused on handicraft. In 1921 the school was put under state government and renamed to the State School of Decorative Arts and Art Industry (Państwowa Szkoła Sztuk Zdobniczych i Przemysłu Artystycznego).

Along with the new name changes were introduced in school’s structure. In 1925 Karol Zyndram Maszkowski, a former student of Jan Matejko, became the director. The Faculty of Interior Designed was opened. In the inter-war years Zdobnicza (as the school was widely known) was the country’s leading institution educating artists and designers. It also integrated the small artistic community of Poznan.
 
In 2019 the school celebrated its 100th anniversary. In 2021 Poznan University of the Arts was named after Magdalena Abakanowicz. By the decision of the Minister of Education and Science as of February 16, 2023, Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts Poznan was awarded the highest scientific category A+ in the discipline of visual arts and conservation of works of art.

Being one of the most vibrant institutions of higher education in Poland with a rich history and a thriving cultural center of supra-regional importance, UAP has been gaining many honourable achievements in terms of study and research, size and quality in education.

Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music

Poznań is a city that thrives with culture and art. International festivals, competitions, cultural institutions with long traditions and wide range of activities – this makes the capital of Wielkopolska region inspire and attract lovers of art, including music. For more than a hundred years, the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań has been part of this colorful landscape of culture creation and promotion.
 
The school began its activity on October 16, 1920 as the State Academy and School of Music, and its first principal was Henryk Opieński. The organizational and curricular structure was based on the assumptions of the Paris Schola Cantorum and Prague Conservatory of Music. Classes of theory, singing, string instruments, wind instruments, and piano were launched, as well as – within the framework of the higher course – Departments of Drama, Opera, and Church Music. Due to the insufficient number of primary and secondary schools, teaching at the State Academy was extended to all age groups (a two-year introductory course, a four-year high school course, and a three-year academic course).
