Both groups: Pulse Radiolysis Laboratory (PRL) and Ionic Liquids Laboratory (ILL) are part of Centre of Radiation Research and Technology. CRRT is the one of 4 departments in the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology in Warsaw. Research activities of the CRRT focused on basic and applied research in the field of radiation chemistry and physics and development of radiation technologies on a laboratory and pilot plant scale with further adaptation to an industrial scale.

The groups were involved in the Research Training Network SULFRAD (2002-2006) with 4 universities and 2 research institutions from France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Poland (5th FP) and in the COST Programme, Action P9 RADAM (2003 – 2007) with over 20 universities and research institutions from nearly all European countries (6th FP). The groups were lately involved in the COST Programme CM0603 CHEMBIO-RADICAL (7th FP) that concerns free radicals chemistry in chemical biology and involves over 15 universities and research institutions from nearly 15 European countries. The research programme of the groups has been carried and is still continued based on close bilateral collaboration with many foreign laboratories from Europe, USA (Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory), and Chile. The scientific achievements of the group have been published in many articles in peer-reviewed journals (e. g. J. Am. Chem. Soc., J. Phys. Chem. A and B, Eur. Chem. J., Free Radic. Biol. Med.) and presented on international conferences.
