"Embassy of Scientists" - 21.02.2023
On the occasion of Polish Science Day, established four years ago, a meeting with Polish scientists working or pursuing scientific internships in Italy "Embassy of Scientists" was held at the headquarters of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Rome. The meeting was a networking event, and was attended by more than twenty scientists specializing in fields ranging from biomedicine, physics, chemistry and the humanities and social sciences.
The guests were officially welcomed by the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland, Mrs. Anna Maria Anders, emphasizing that the meeting takes place almost on Nicolaus Copernicus' 550th birthday. The President of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Professor Marek Konarzewski, during his speech, drew attention to the funding opportunities offered by Polish institutions such as the National Science Center and the National Agency for Academic Exchange, and encouraged the scientists taking part in the event to cooperate with PAN.
The next part of the meeting continued the issues raised by President Konarzewski. Dr. Marcin Liana, deputy director of NCN, and Agnieszka Stefaniak-Hrycko, director of the Scientific Station of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Rome, provided valuable information on the grant opportunities of Polish institutions. Dr. Liana noted the growing interest in the Center's projects, highlighted the most important domestic and foreign programs offered by NCN, and explained what criteria must be met to receive such funding. The Station Director, meanwhile, explained how programs funded by NAWA and the Polish Academy of Sciences operate, and talked about the available programs in which both young and experienced scientists can participate.
The meeting closed with a gala dinner attended by the Ambassador.
