Over 100 scientists participated in the third and the last POLONEZ BIS Kick-off meeting. The meeting was held at the beginning of December, at the NCN headquarters.
The Fellows and Mentors whose research projects started this autumn or will take off in January and April 2024 took part in the Kick-off meeting. The two-day event was an opportunity for the scientists to get to know other Fellows and to develop a network of contacts across Poland. The kick-off started with a presentation by Dr Iwona Bielska, a Fellow awarded in the first POLONEZ BIS call, who shared with the new PIs and their Mentors her year-long experience of working and living in Poland. It was followed by a workshop on the career development, conducted by CRAC-Vitae, an institutional partner of the POLONEZ BIS programme. Its aim was to support the all-round development of researchers, i.e. through a special Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) Planner platform. The second, very popular workshop session, was devoted to open access to publications and research data. Fellows also learned about cross-sector secondments and ways of promoting their scientific projects.
The third kick-off meeting was the last one in a series of events kicking off the implementation of projects under the POLONEZ BIS programme. Fellows will continue to meet during the training programme and during the POLONEZ Fellows Forum scheduled for 2024.
