The Foundation for Polish Science invites representatives of scientific institutions in Germany and the United Kingdom for information days on the International Research Agendas project. The meetings are to take place in September in Berlin and Cambridge.
The purpose of the International Research Agendas project under the Smart Growth Operational Programme is to create world-class specialised scientific units which apply international best practices for identification of research programmes and themes, HR policy, R&D management and commercialisation of results of R&D activities. The project consists in providing support for specialised independent scientific units in Poland which implement international research agendas developed within strategic cooperation with renowned scientific institutions from other countries.
We have the pleasure of inviting representatives of academic/scientific institutions from Germany and the United Kingdom interested in collaborating on international research agendas in Poland to meetings at which the premises of the project and information on the opportunities and rules of participation in the competition will be presented. The information days will also offer a chance to find out about details on submitting applications for the competition.
