Workshops
The registration for the workshops is closed.
On Friday, there are going to be two workshops for you: The "Foundation for Polish Science" is going to tell you everything you want to know about applying for grants in Poland, and "3D PHOENIX" is offering a hands-on workshop on 3D printing.
#1: 3D Printing
This innovation workshop will be conducted in a Design Thinking approach and will feature the most innovative 3D-printing technology. It will be led by a representative of 3D PHOENIX, the leader of 3D services in Central Europe, and a professional Design Thinking coach. Register for this workshop and bring your own ideas for a disruptive 3D-printing use case. Let’s then together prototype it and try to bring it to live in order to change people’s lives ever after. Within 3 hours you will experience both the most recent 3D-printing technology, and the way how innovative start-up companies develop their disruptive concepts. The workshop is limited to 12 spots.
#2: Applying for grants in Poland - why and how
This workshop, led by a representative of the Foundation for Polish Science, the largest non-governmental source of science funding in the country, will provide you with an overview of options you will have at your disposal when planning your research career in Poland. We will present the current FNP grant offer as a point of departure, providing you with a road map of Polish funding opportunities and illustrating this structured presentation with a talk by one of our grantees, whose first-hand experience should equip you with real-life, practical knowledge about the benefits and challenges of doing science in Poland today. An interactive Q&A session at the end of the workshop will give you an opportunity to ask any additional questions you may have.

Panel discussion
Science across borders:
Polish - German perspectives for scientific excellence
Scientific excellence - often you hear that this is a process, not a state. We would like to ask our speakers to share with us how they define scientific excellence, basing on their long-term experience of cooperation within both Polish and German partnership projects and institutes. The goal is to understand better what kind of attitudes allow researchers to do science across the borders - mental, geographical or cultural borders. What lessons did our speakers draw from the foreign agenda? What can Poland do better?
