An institute with expertise and potential

The National Centre for Nuclear Research is one of the largest scientific institutes in Central Europe and a unique research centre in Poland. We combine a rich tradition with modern infrastructure and significant scientific achievements in the fields of physics, nuclear and plasma technologies, and astrophysics.

We conduct basic and applied research related to nuclear energy, subatomic physics and related fields. Our projects are interdisciplinary in nature – they cover physics, materials engineering, automation, electronics and space technologies, environmental engineering, mining and energy, as well as pharmaceutical sciences.

We collaborate with leading scientific centres around the world, implementing international projects and developing solutions important for science and the economy. This makes NCBJ one of the key centres for research on nuclear technologies and advanced research methods in Poland.

For science

We conduct basic and applied research related to ionising radiation and related fields. We make use of a unique and large research infrastructure. We are constantly developing our competences. We collaborate with leading global and European research institutions. We participate both in the construction of the infrastructure and in experiments conducted in international teams using this infrastructure. We collaborate with the European Laboratory for Particle Physics CERN in Geneva, participate in neutrino oscillation research in the T2K experiment in Japan, and take part in the construction of the innovative Hyper-Kamiokande experiment.
We are a recognised European centre for the development of nuclear and reactor technologies.
