CubeSat GBRAlpha, launched by our colleague Norbert Werner and his team, detects the second gamma-ray burst. Thanks to the Nordic Optical Telescope, we also know the redshift of the burst, which was emitted 10 billion years ago. The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team determined the exact coordinates of the burst in the Aquila constellation.

At the beginning of April, the Day with ERC, an event for junior researchers took place. The aim of the discussion meeting for junior scientists is networking. Dr. Jakub Kelar from the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology was nominated as a representative from the Faculty of Science.
Since April 2024 for the next three years, CEPLANT center will lead the project COLOSSE funded by the Pathways to Synergies Call 2023 (Horizon Europe). COLOSSE connects Czech and Slovak research facilities in plasma-enabled surface engineering and boosts their potential for Horizon Europe and future EU R&I programs.
