"Spotlight on Science in Poland: The Ulam NAWA Programme" was the 14th event in the series of Polonium Webinars. This special webinar was be given by our guests involved in the Ulam NAWA Programme.


The aim of the Ulam Programme is to increase the internationalisation of Polish institutions of science and higher education. The Programme allows both recognised and promising scientists who hold at least a doctoral degree, to visit Poland in order to strengthen the scientific potential of Polish entities and to participate in their scientific activities, primarily research projects and didactics.


Our amazing speakers gave the following talks:
Magdalena Kowalczyk (NAWA): "The Ulam Programme: mobility of scientists"
Emanuel Kulczycki (Adam Mickiewicz University): "Why host a ULAM scholarship holder? Opportunities and challenges"
Zehra Taşkın (Adam Mickiewicz University): "On research dreams and the funding programs that make the dreams come true"
Matthew Frank Stevens (Swansea University): "Ethnicity, law, urban development and identity: a comparative study of medieval Wales and Prussia"

Polonium Foundation is an independent NGO which brings together students, researchers and people associated with science. We address the negative phenomenon of emigration of highly skilled Polish researchers - "brain drain" - and transform it into a favorable two-way flow of people and ideas - "brain circulation". The Foundation’s activities are focused on linking and supporting Polish researchers working around the world, both in academia and R&D (research and development) sectors, as well as international researchers interested in research opportunities or collaborations with Poland. Regular contact and various types of initiatives have allowed the Foundation to build relationships with Polish scientific diaspora and many international scientists working in Poland and abroad.
