  5. Faculty of Chemistry Karol Olszewski (1846-1915) Chemist, physicist and expert of low temperatures; the first scholar who liquefied nitrogen and oxygen; he also discovered a method of hydrogen liquefaction and constructed machinery for that purpose, which enabled him to reach the then-lowest world temperature, -225 C. 1950-52

  10. Institute of Forensic Research • It is the only research centre of its kind in Poland, working under the aegis of the Ministry of Justice. • Its statutory duties include: • research in the field of forensic • science, • preparation of expert opinions for • courts and public prosecutor's • officesin criminal and civil cases, • the development and promotion of • the forensic sciences. • The Institute carries out expert investigations and research in the following units: •  Department of Forensic Toxicology • Department of Criminalistics • Department of Road Accidents • Department of Forensic Psychology • Forensic Genetics Section 1929

  11. MILESTONES before 1997 – informal collaboration between FCh JU and IFR 1997 – common idea of educational module called „forensic chemistry” as one of objectives of the TEMPUS project „Transformation of University Chemistry Studies at the Jagiellonian University”(TRUCS), 1997/98 – formal introduction of this module to the chemical study at FCh JU 2000 – establishment of the Laboratory for Forensic Chemistry at FCh JU as one of the objectives of the TEMPUS project „National Training Program for Forensic Science Experts” (NATFOSE), 2001 – formal agreement between FCh JU and IFR in the field of forensic chemistry 2000/2001 – modification of the curriculum of module „forensic chemistry” from 2002 – teaching of „forensic chemistry” according to new curriculum

  12. LABORATORY FOR FORENSIC CHEMISTRY founded in 2000 - system for capillary electrophoresis (PrinCe 550 CSD, Prince) - HPLC system (LaChrom, Merck) - atomic fluorescence spectrometer with the flow system for hydride generation (AFS 230,Beijing Haiguang Instrument Co.) - system for microwave digestion (MARS 5X, CEM), - audiovisual equipment (video-projectors, digital photo-cameras,video-camera, video-recorders)

  18. Ph.D. STUDY

  19. FUTURE • to make specialisation in forensic chemistry more and more attractive (e.g. to organise „artificial” trials, to prepare new interactive classes with the use of audiovisual and computer tools), • to organise and open post-graduate study in the field of forensic • chemistry, • to organise and open the „forensic” courses in the frame of „virtual university” • to increase the scientific level of the forensic research performed, • to expand the collaboration with national and foreign forensic/analytical centres

  20. „FORENSIC CHEMISTRY” IN NUMBERS • first and still only one activity of this kind in Poland • 2 years of studying (4th and 5yh year of chemical study) • 10 years of activity (since 1997/78) • 12 - 14 students a year • 31 publications (with the student contribution) • 34 master’s theses • 82 graduates • a lot of students interested in the subject every year
