The “Horizon Europe Collaboration Opportunities with Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences” folder is now available, providing a comprehensive guide to potential collaborations with renowned research teams affiliated with various research institutes under the umbrella of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS).

To facilitate research collaboration and foster international cooperation, the Polish Science Contact Agency “PolSCA” of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Brussels presents a practical tool for a wide range of European researchers and project leaders willing to establish new collaborative links with PAS R&I community via Horizon Europe. Within the folder, research team leaders from diverse institutes affiliated at the PAS showcase their expertise, research interests, and potential areas of collaboration within Horizon Europe. The key focus areas include MSCA, Research Infrastructures, HE thematic clusters, Widening and innovation instruments.

About

The folder includes detailed information about 31 PAS institutes and specific research teams interested in initiating new collaborations and expanding existing academic networks. Therefore, it is possible to gain insights into the activities of each institute or research team, including their research interests, expertise, and previous projects. Additionally, the folder facilitates direct connection with research leaders through provided contact details, making collaboration initiation easier. By enabling searching by keywords or browsing through brief descriptions, it is possible to identify a direct contact with a PAS-affiliated research leaders keen on applying jointly for Horizon Europe calls.

Role of PAS

Internationalization of research is among key strategic priorities of the Polish Academy of Sciences, therefore supporting measure such as this publication are warmly welcome by the leadership of the Academy:

The natural role of Polish Academy of Sciences is to develop and disseminate Polish science; however, in our activities we do not stop only within the country. The Academy supports international cooperation through research projects, scientific consortia or participation in the work of inter-state scientific organizations. We believe that thanks to such cooperation, Polish science will become even more competitive on the global market.

– Prof. Mirosława Ostrowska, vice-president of PAS.

About the programme

The Horizon Europe framework programme aims to support and promote science, research, and innovation to address societal challenges, foster industrial competitiveness, and advance knowledge and technologies. With a budget of €95.5 billion for the period 2021–2027, Horizon Europe provides the largest EU budget for research and innovation to date.

The “Horizon Europe Collaboration Opportunities with Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences” folder can be utilized to establish partnerships and collaborations with the institutes of PAS. Through this collaboration, research teams can contribute to the development of solutions to global challenges, foster innovation, and advance knowledge for the betterment of society.

The Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA of PAS in Brussels facilitates and promotes the participation of the Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences in European research and innovation initiatives. For more information, contact: magdalena.dobrzynska@polsca.pan.pl or polsca@polsca.pan.pl.
