Krzysztof Szafran Lukasiewicz Research Network — Institute of Aviation, Warsaw, Poland [email protected] z ORCID 0000-0003-3974-1466 Ireneusz Kramarski HORNET, Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Poland [email protected] z ORCID 0000-0001-9525-7877 DOI: 10.2478/minib-2019-0051 Summary Research and development institutions have a wide range of competences in their fields of scientific and technical activity. They also often have some unique capabilities to do research and development (R&D). However, these possibilities are often known only to a small group of industry specialists and few parliamentary representatives. There is also a lack of information about research capabilities of R&D institutes in industry, especially among small and medium enterprises. The aim of the article is to present the concept of a multidisciplinary research project aimed at testing by a scientific research institution the possibility of using social media and modern techniques of visualization and computer simulation in aircraft reconstruction engineering. The authors propose to try the approach of marketing campaign capabilities of research and development institutions in a way similar to the action of raising funds for some purpose, but unlike this type of action, the campaign should be aimed at increasing technical awareness of the society. As part of the pilot program, the authors propose a virtual reconstruction of the construction of the Polish PZL P-50 Jastrząb fighter plane whose two prototypes were created before the outbreak of World War II.

    BIOGRAPHIE DES COUREURS & INFO WORLDTEAMS WORLDTEAMS AG2R LA MONDIALE (FRA) Au plus haut‐niveau depuis 24 ans, la formation française a encore brillé sur le dernier Tour de France avec la troisième place de Romain Bardet qui signait ainsi son deuxième podium consécutif. Une vraie source d’inspiration pour l’équipe dirigée par Vincent Lavenu qui a la particularité de faire éclore ses talents au sein d’un centre de formation qui a fait passer plus de trente coureurs dans les rangs professionnels. A noter que le Québécois Hugo Houle qui ne cesse de progresser, manquera à l’appel cette année puisqu’il est engagé sur les routes du Tour d’Espagne. Date de création : 1992. Victoires 2017 (au 20 août) : 13 LES HOMMES À SUIVRE Oliver Naesen (BEL) : 26 ans, professionnel en 2014. Palmarès : 5 victoires dont Bretagne Classic 2016, champion de Belgique 2017. Cette saison : 1 victoire ; 3e du GP E3, 3e des 4 Jours de Dunkerque, 5e BinckBank Tour. Recruté l’hiver dernier suite à l’arrêt de la formation IAM, Naesen est l’une des grandes satisfactions de la saison chez AG2R La Mondiale. Le titre national décroché en juin est venu couronner un printemps de très haut niveau où il n’aura manqué qu’un brin de réussite au Flamand pour s’offrir des podiums sur les classiques pavées. Mais s’il excelle sur les courses d’un jour, le Belge a aussi démontré, auprès de Romain Bardet sur le Tour de France, sa capacité à jouer les équipiers de luxe.

Baron and His Legacy, an international research conference commemorating and examining the intellectual legacy of Salo W. Baron. In 2012, the Center for Jewish Studies at Arizona State University (ASU) and the Institute of Jewish Studies at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland inaugurated a formal collaboration, in the interest of paving the way to a new understanding of the Jewish past, in the larger context of western history, religion, and culture. Together, they convened a research symposium examining the revival of Jewish Studies, and the proceedings were published in volume 11 (2013) of the journal, Scripta Judaica Cracoviensia. “From Galicia to New York: Salo W. Baron and His Legacy” is the next step in this scholarly collaboration: a conference to honor and consider the scholarly work of Salo Wittmayer Baron, whose 120th birthday is celebrated on May 26, 2015. Since Professor Baron’s outstanding scholarship was a joint effort with his wife, Jeannette M. Baron, the conference will honor her memory and her contribution to scholarship, as well. Salo W. Baron was born in Tarnów, Poland and before his departure to the United States, he studied at Jagiellonian Univeristy and University of Vienna.
