Where Are We? A Discussion on Forensic Anthropology in Poland

This panel seeks to establish a platform to discuss the current and future directions of forensic anthropology in Poland. We invite students, scholars, and professionals to contribute their current and past research, offering insights into theoretical advancements, methodological innovations, and practical applications within this discipline. By fostering an interdisciplinary approach, we aim to explore how forensic anthropology intersects with related fields, enhancing its scope and impact. In addition to highlighting developments within Poland, this panel warmly welcomes contributions from international participants, enriching the discussion with diverse perspectives, experiences, and ideas. Together, we hope to build a comprehensive overview of the progress made in forensic anthropology while identifying areas for further exploration. Submissions spanning theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and case studies are welcome, reflecting the diversity and depth of this dynamic field. We also welcome contributions from related disciplines that may have forensic applications (e.g. biological anthropology, dental anthropology, archaeology, etc.). We welcome submissions both in Polish and in English.

Rethinking mental health

This panel explores diverse interdisciplinary perspectives on mental health, challenging biomedical models and highlighting lived experience, community approaches, and systemic factors. It invites dialogue on inclusive, person-centered, and holistic paths toward the future of mental health care.

Physical science

My research is in medical imaging and image reconstruction from the two PET isotopes simultaneously via the application of techniques in nuclear medicine devices (PET). I would rather be in the Physical Sciences panel due to the physics involved in my work but also could be in the Medical Sciences panel due to the medical imaging scenario.

Multifunctional Nanocomposites for Drug Delivery and Biomedical Applications

This panel focuses on the development of multifunctional nanocomposites for drug delivery and biomedical applications. It will explore the synthesis of hydrogels, electrospun nanofibers, and biopolymer-based nanocomposites, with an emphasis on improving mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and responsiveness to external stimuli. Key topics will include the use of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs) in creating advanced drug delivery systems, scaffolds for tissue engineering, and controlled drug release. The discussion will address challenges in integrating these materials into practical biomedical applications and their potential to improve therapeutic outcomes.
