University of Gdańsk

Collection of Plasmids and Microorganisms (KPD) is a newly established resource at the Faculty of Biology dedicated to collecting and long-term preservation of plasmids and microorganisms, aiming to foster advanced collection management of biological material and consolidate microbial resources previously dispersed among several university labs.

Our mission is to support bioscience by providing open access to high-quality microbial resources. 

Aims:

To explore intersections of quantum optics, quantum thermodynamics and open system dynamics.

The main area of ​​research for the entire research group are the following issues: direct / participatory / deliberative democracy - both in general and in relation to specific institutions, such as: national and local referendum, civic legislative initiative, civic budget, citizens' assemblies or re-call. The team also conducts research on various aspects of the judiciary.

Individual team members also conduct individual research - often in collaboration with foreign researchers - on other topics, such as:

Led by Professor Joanna Kruczalak-Jankowska, the Bankruptcy and Restructuring Research Group examines and analyses various issues related to insolvency.

Led by Professor Bartłomiej Gliniecki, the Company Law Research Group examines and analyses various companies and corporate structures  – including problems related to commercial companies under the Polish law as well as development tendencies – but also extends its research to all kinds of related issues as corporate governance or corporate finance.

Research group is focusing on tobacco control law from perspective of seaside regions. Seaside regions have their specific issues in tobacco control. Mostly they are touristic regions with political and legal tendency to loosen tobacco control regulations and its enforcement which are seen as something what may discourage tourists. These regions have also bigger crossborder movement which is associated with smuggled tobacco supply. This causes greater public health threat with the need for more comprehensive legal approach. 

Area of interest:

• foundations of quantum physics
• quantum information
• theory of quantum entanglement
• Bell inequalities
• quantum metrology
