Interesting speeches and very nice atmosphere on the first day of 🌿 Religions and Environment: Methodological Reflection and Contribution from Social Sciences 🌿 event organised by Fellow, Kseniya Medvedeva of Institute of Philosophy and Sociology PAS Instytut Filozofii i Socjologii Polskiej Akademii Nauk

Hard to believe, but it was the last networking meeting with Fellows & Families and PASIFIC Team on June 11th.

Together we explored the Royal Lazienki Park in Warsaw Łazienki Królewskie / Royal Lazienki - Old Orangery, Royal Foundry, Royal Theatre, Palace on the Isle 🏛️🫅 and admired plants and animals in the Park 🌳🌼🦚🐟

We ended the meeting with dinner and conversations continued late. It was a memorable day spent in the company of – dare we say it – not only PASIFIC Fellows & Families but also PASIFIC Friends 💙

On 12 June, the second 🔵 Networking with Scientific Community 🔵 event took place at the Staszic Palace in Warsaw.

"Interdisciplinarity in scientific research" was the theme of the meeting, which brought together dozens of researchers from various scientific institutions. PASIFIC Fellows and invited guests took part in three scientific sessions and a panel discussion led by Prof. Marzena Smol and dr hab. Paweł Malinowski, the Polish Young Academy Academy (AMU) Akademia Młodych Uczonych PAN - AMU PAN representatives.

Participants found the meeting to be a very good networking opportunity ☕💬🗨️ They appreciated the friendly atmosphere and called for more interdisciplinarity. We hope to fulfil this wish when organizing future networking events 🎯

Thank you to everyone who joined us there 🙌

New NCN Grant for Fellow Chris Hale! Congratulations 🎉

Polska Akademia Nauk

Kolejny sukces w rywalizacji o granty Narodowe Centrum Nauki ❗

ℹ Wśród 322 grantobiorców, których projekty były na listach rezerwowych w konkursach OPUS 25, PRELUDIUM 22, MAESTRO 15 i SONATA BIS 13 i w ostatni piątek otrzymało od NCN decyzje o finansowaniu, znalazł się także Dr Chris Hale ze swoim projektem MITAMBA 🔸Minijczycy i Trojanie w Środkowej Epoce Brązu: wieloskalowe sieci powiązań w północnym basenie Morza Egejskiego🔸. Projekt złożony był w konkursie SONATA BIS 13. Tym samym, oba nasze wnioski złożone w tym konkursie otrzymały finansowanie (drugi projekt realizuje już Dr Dorota Dias-Lewandowska)!

☝ Chris rozpoczął przygodę z naszym Instytutem ponad dwa lata temu, skutecznie konkurując o dwuletni staż podoktorski w ramach programu PASIFIC - Postdoctoral Fellowships. Projekt RENLORC był dla niego szansą by skoncentrować się wyłącznie na badaniach i przeprowadzić specjalistyczne analizy, które z uwagi na brak finansowania były wcześniej poza jego zasięgiem. Zaowocowało to szeregiem publikacji, a Warszawa i nasz Instytut okazały się miejscami, które przekonały go do podjęcia próby aplikowania o grant NCN, która już w pierwszym podejściu zakończyła się sukcesem.

➡️Projekt MITAMBA będzie trwał 5 lat, i w jego ramach przewidziane są dwa stanowiska post-doc.

➡️Więcej o projekcie można przeczytać w streszczeniu:https://www.ncn.gov.pl/sites/default/files/listy-rankingowe/2023-06-15-lut7739ikitila/streszczenia/599391-pl.pdf
