IFJ PAN in Kraków was established in 1955, thanks to Prof IFJ PAN in Kraków was established in 1955, thanks to Prof. Henryk Niewodniczański, who was the 1st director (until his death in1968). Prof. Niewodniczański was post-doc of Ernest Rutherford. Since 2003 IFJ PAN belongs to Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN)
