On 8 December 2025, PCSS hosted a delegation from the Ministry of Development and Regional Policy, led by the Minister of Funds and Regional Policy, Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. She was accompanied by Members of Parliament Ewa Schädler and Adam Luboński. The visit offered a valuable opportunity to present PCSS’ strategic research infrastructure and highlight our Center’s role in advancing digital transformation across both the region and the country.
This year’s edition of the event organised by the publishers of “Magazyn Biomasa” will once again attract numerous representatives of the agricultural, technology and energy sectors, who, in close cooperation with investors and public administration bodies, are shaping the future of Polish agriculture. The event will take place on 16–17 December at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Centre in Warsaw and will naturally feature representatives of PCSS.
On 1–2 December 2025, the plenary meeting of the international OpenAgri project, focused on developing open technologies for agriculture, was held in Ghent, Belgium. PCSS presented the results of the Polish pilot – an intelligent potato crop irrigation system that increased yields by as much as 26% compared to the reference field, while simultaneously minimizing water consumption.
Between 4 and 5 December 2025, the anniversary conference “When Tradition Meets Technology. 80 Years of the University Library in Wrocław, 20 Years of the Digital Library of the University of Wrocław and Future Directions” was held at the University of Wrocław Library (BUWr). The event offered an important opportunity to reflect on the role of academic libraries in the era of digital transformation, and thus the participation of PCSS representatives — a key technological partner — was an essential part of the programme.
An interview with Aleksandra Nowak – the Head of Digital Libraries and Knowledge Platforms Department of PCSS, has just appeared on the lumenproject.eu website as a part of the LUMEN Voices series.
