In contact with science
Beginning on 1 September, the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń will host the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Contact Point for Northern Poland. The new unit will cover three voivodeships: Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie, and Pomorskie.
MSCA Contact Points have been established for researchers, teaching and administrative staff at universities, representatives of industry, students and doctoral students involved in MSCA projects or planning to implement them.
The contact point, which will be established at the NCU, will conduct, among other things, information and promotion actions, training and consultation for researchers from northern Poland, i.e. three voivodeships: Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie and Pomorskie, and its aim is to increase internationalisation in this part of the country. The MSCA programme has a direct impact on this, among other things, by enabling institutions to employ researchers from abroad and allowing staff to participate in international research and training projects. The work of the point will be coordinated by the International Projects Section: Lucyna Kejna, Alicja Kostrzak, Małgorzata Adamska and Martyna Stasiorowska.
