In our podcast, Malwina Gębalska and Barbara Świątkowska talk about initiatives supporting science: the candidate partnership on Social Transformations and Resilience and the Science & Society Initiative.

Weave-UNISONO grant will feed into two research projects performed by researchers from Poland and Switzerland. They will analyse discussions on generative AI on social media platforms and conduct research leading to more personalised radiotherapy method of cancer treatment.

Poland is one of the countries with the fastest growing light pollution in Europe. We discuss the impact of artificial light on health and the environment with Prof. Karolina Zielińska-Dąbkowska from the Gdańsk University of Technology, who is bringing together two worlds: researchers and lighting design practitioners.

Workshop registration is now open! Students, researchers and administrative support staff in charge of grants and research data management can now sign in for the workshop that will be held during the NCN Days in Rzeszów on 12-13 May.

Researchers at any stage of research career can now submit their basic research proposals to OPUS 29 and PRELUDIUM 24. The total budget of the two calls is 600 million zlotys.

“All ambitious scientific work involves risk. Sometimes we spend a year researching a topic, everything seems promising, and then it turns out that nothing comes of it. Nevertheless, it is crucial to look for new solutions instead of following the well-trodden paths,” says Dr Krzysztof Szade. A biochemist from the Jagiellonian University talks about the scientific challenges and realities of working in Poland.

On 12-13 May, the University of Rzeszów will host this year’s NCN Days. The NCN Days are held once per year, always in a different academic town in Poland, owing to which researchers can learn more about the NCN portfolio, evaluation of proposals and project performance.  

What tools and infrastructures are essential to creating an open research environment in Poland? Together with experts from across Europe, we will explore Poland's role in shaping the European Open Science Cloud during the third edition of the EOSC National Tripartite Event Poland, on 25 March in Krakow, Poland.
