Institute of Computer Science of the Faculty of Science, P.J.Šafárik University in Košice is orginizing the 18th annual conference ITAT, a Czech-Slovak scientific conference focused mainly on the presentation of the results of young scientists and PhD students in the field of computer sciences.

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has announced the establishment of the Periodic Table of Younger Chemists. Each of the chosen elements from the periodic table will be represented by one of 118 exceptional young chemists from around the world, who will be nominated for this award. Assoc. prof. RNDr. Andrea Straková Fedorková, PhD. from the Institute of Chemistry, Department of Physical Chemistry, is included among the successful young chemists, representing the element platinum

The Award for the Best Poster presented at the 21^st International Conference on Magnetism ICM2018, which was attended by more than 2000 scientists from around the world, was awarded to RNDr. Samuel Dobák, PhD. from the Institute of Physics, Faculty of Science P.J. Šafárik University in Košice

This workshop with international participation holds from September 2 - 7, 2018 in the Hotel Atrium, Nový Smokovec. This year is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Stano Jendrol, one of the founders and long-time organizers of workshops.

At the beginning of August 2018 an expedition took place with a seven membered scientific team, under the supervision of prof. Eric Ferré from the Southern Illinois University, U.S. in the area of Ariège (in the South of France), in the cave of Geuffre Georges, which is situated in the massif of the Mont Bèas mountain (1903 altitude) in the northern Pyrenees. Members of the scientific team were also doc. Mgr. Michal Gallay, PhD. and Mgr. Jozef Šupinský from the Institute of Geography FS P.J.Š. University

Professor Martin Bačkor, a scientist working with the Physiology and Ecology of plants in extreme conditions of the Institute of Biology and Ecology FS, P.J.Š. University, in the year 2017 (January-March) took part for the first time in a unique scientific polar expedition in Antarctica. For this reason, on the 10th of August this year he joined a new expedition which now will take place in Spitsbergen when he will connect his research with the solutions of some of his earlier projects from Antarctica.

The award for the best presentation of 15th International Symposium on Novel and Nano Materials, which took place in the beginning of July 2018 in Portugal, was achieved by Professor Andrej Oriňák from the Institute of Chemistry, FS P.J.Š. University.

Faculty of Science, P.J. Šafárik University in co-operation with the Institute of Geotechnics SAS in Košice is going to organize the 5th International Scientific Conference on Biotechnologies and Metals (2. cycle) in October 2018 which will be focused on the newest trends on application of microbiology and biotechnologies while treating and processing natural materials and their waste
