IPPT PAN have started research work in the project "Application of the AIA concept (Adaptive Impact Absorption) in aeronautical and space engineering, AIA-AERO" within the programme "TANGO 2" (NCBiR). This is the second edition of the only initiative in Poland that supports the practical application of fundamental research results.

IPPT PAN offered two educational programs at the 21. Science Picnic. A large number of visitors took part in them.

On 31st of May 2017, the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland granted a patent for a team from IPPT PAN, IMDiK PAN and WUM. The invention title is "Application of electrospinning nanofibres as neuroprotective dressings for use in the prevention of post-traumatic changes in the brain."

In May 2017, National Science Centre (NCN) has approved and subsidized seven projects at IPPT PAN.

On May 12, 2017, the General Assembly of The European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) has elected Professor the President General of ECCOMAS. This is a great honor to Prof. Kleiber, confirming his high international recognition and scientific position. This is also a high appreciation for the entire Polish scientific community of information science, applied mathematics and mechanics, as well as for our Institute.

We are pleased to announce a monograph "PROJEKTOWANIE I BADANIE ADAPTACYJNY PNEUMATYCZNYCH ABSORBERÓW ENERGII UDERZENIA" (in English: Designing and Investigation of Pneumatic Adaptive Absorbers), by Rafał Wiszowaty (IPPT Reports 3/2016).
