In 1922, the Senate of the University of Poznań on the initiative of prof. Adam Wrzosek awarded the dignity of honorary doctor to Marie Skłodowska-Curie. The scientist was the first honorary doctor of the Poznań university. Unfortunately, for various reasons, she did not come to Poznań and receive her diploma. From the diaries of prof. Adam Wrzosek, it is known that the diploma was never even printed. After a hundred years, on the initiative of prof. Tomasz Pospieszny and dr. Iwona Taborska from the Faculty of Chemistry of the of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, the honorary doctorate diploma was handed over to the scientistʼs granddaughter, prof. Hélène Langevin-Joliot. The ceremony was held under the patronage of Her Magnificence the Rector, prof. Bogumiła Kaniewska and the honorary patronage of the Mayor of Poznań, Mr. Jacek Jaśkowiak. The Polish Chemical Society actively participated in the event, and the president of PTCHm, prof. Izabela Nowak presented prof. Hélène Langevin-Joliot, one of the highest distinctions – Honorary Member of the Polish Chemical Society.
