DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Adam Matyja (Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN \,ul. 
 Radzikowskiego 152\, 31-342 Kraków\, Poland)\n\n \nALICE is an experimen
 t dedicated to heavy-ion studies. Depending on the impact parameter (IP)\,
  one can split collisions into several classes: central (IP close to zero)
 \, peripheral (IP larger but nuclei still overlap)\, and ultraperipheral (
 no nuclear overlap). In this presentation I would like to concentrate on u
 ltraperipheral collisions. They provide a clean\, low-multiplicity environ
 ment to study quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phenomena such as shadowing or 
 saturation at low Bjorken x\, as well as entanglement. The coherent J/ψ o
 r ψ(2S) vector meson (VM) photoproduction is sensitive to gluon distribut
 ion functions. The incoherent photoproduction is sensitive to initial subn
 ucleon fluctuations and may indicate the onset of gluon saturation. The st
 udy of lepton pair production is crucial for validation of the photon flux
  produced in various Monte Carlo generators. It also gives insights into p
 hysics beyond the Standard Model. The large ALICE upgrade allowed for a st
 reaming readout\, which opened the possibility to study collectivity in sm
 all systems. The ALICE experiment has recently measured electromagnetic di
 ssociation\, coherent and incoherent VM photoproduction\, as well as lepto
 n pair production from Run 2 and Run 3. These results\, together with incl
 usive spectra of identified light and strange hadrons\, will also be shown
 . The ongoing activities of the ALICE Krakow group will also be summarised
