The Foundation for Polish Science would like to invite scientists to an on line transmission of an information meeting on the International Research Agendas programme, scheduled to take place on 8 September at 10.00 a.m.
The International Research Agendas programme provides an opportunity to create research organisations in Poland (innovative centres of excellence), where outstanding scientists (irrespective of their nationality) would conduct quality research programmes and pursue R&D activities in order to solve a specific global scientific challenge. The suggested funding amount for each research centre is approximately EUR 8 million for five years.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to individual scientists (regardless of their nationality) as well as to representatives of research institutions interested in pursuing international research agendas in Poland to an information meeting about the programme. During the meeting, we are going to present the programme, the opportunities and the application procedure in the next competition, as well as information on drafting, submission and evaluation of applications.
The meeting will be held in English. The broadcast – available on the Foundation?s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/FundacjaFNP) – will begin at 10 a.m. Online participants will be able to ask questions by sending an e-mail to: infodaymab@fnp.org.pl. A recording will be available on YouTube immediately after the end of the meeting.
