Don’t miss the PASIFIC kick-off meeting today
Tomorrow, on November 5th, we would like to invite you to join us at online kick-off meeting, inaugurating the PASIFIC Program, at 14:00 (CEST). Thanks to the PASIFIC program, 50 most talented scientists from all over the world will have the chance to come to Poland to carry out their research at the institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology.
During the meeting, the organizers will present the assumptions of the program, its goals and benefits for fellow participants, host institutions and PAS researchers. PASIFIC provides multiple opportunities for all parties participating in the program. While the PAS institutes will be able to employ outstanding scientists, strengthen cooperation with other scientific institutions in Poland and abroad, and deepen ties across range of non-academic sectors, its research staff will primarily benefit from interactions with fellowship holders and the exchange of knowledge and experience.
