Their experiments are carried out mainly at CERN (Geneva) and DESY (Hamburg). As a result they work as members of large international collaborative groups. The particle physicists are in a special situation in that high energy physics experiments require very expensive equipment accelerators and detectors.
The access to leading laboratories in Europe and elsewhere extends the research possibilities and allows us to realise many additional exciting projects. The experimental work carried out in Warsaw, essential for training students and young researchers, is supplemented by active collaboration with foreign centres. This is also true for two divisions of nuclear physics which started experiments at the cyclotron of the Warsaw University Heavy Ion Laboratory. Thanks to years of efforts, the three divisions of condensed matter physics, and the divisions of optics and biophysics, accumulated equipment and experience which allow them to carry out advanced studies in Warsaw.
Of the ten divisions of the Institute, nine represent fields ranging from particle and nuclear physics, through condensed-matter physics and optics, to biophysics and medical physics, whereas one deals specifically with issues of teaching physics and training school teachers.

The technical and administration staff includes 74 persons (68 full positions). It has 63 PhD students who also assist in teaching. At present, the Institute employs 108 physicists (102 full positions), among them 37 professors. Like all university institutions in Poland nowadays, the Institute faces various difficulties, keeping, however, its traditional high level of training and research. 5 Division of Nuclear Physics Division of Nuclear Spectroscopy Division of Optics Division of Particles and Fundamental Interactions Division of Physics Education Division of Solid State Physics Division of Structure Research Laboratory of Medical Physics Laboratory of Structure and Lattice Dynamics Symposium IEPģ PREFACE At the turn of the century, the Institute of Experimental Physics celebrated its 80th anniversary of foundation in the building at Hoża street shown in the front-cover picture.
