PROM Programme – International scholarship exchange of Ph.D. Candidates and Academic Staff

The aim of the project is to create a mechanism of financial support for scholarship exchange of PhD candidates and academic staff programmes. These programmes will enable participation in short forms of education (lasting from 5 to 30 days), which are aimed at increasing competences and qualifications. The project will contribute to the improvement of accessibility of international education programmes and will increase the mobility of the personnel both in the field of visits of representatives of Polish universities and scientific institutions abroad as well as arrivals of scholarship holders to Poland, including people from outside the EU.

Detailed information about PROM programme - International scholarship exchange of PhD candidates and academic staff, as well as the rules of recruitment were presented during the information meeting on the 13th of November 2019 (Wednesday) at 14:15. The meeting took place in the HV Building (GUT building no. 26 at Wlasna Strzecha 18A St, room WN 15).

Additional information about the project can be obtained electronically from the project manager (Prof. Arkadiusz Żak for FECE) or the project coordinators (Prof. Maciej Bagiński for FCh and FAPhM, Prof. Bogdan Pankiewicz for FETI, FME and FOEST, Prof. Magdalena Rucka for FCEE, FA and FME), as well as the project secretary (Ms Monika Grzonkowska from FECE) and the financial project assistant (Mrs Agnieszka Kliem from FECE) using the project e-mail address: prom@pg.edu.pl

In addition, we would like to remind you that due to the current epidemic situation we recommend purchasing airline tickets with the possibility of their return or change of date free of charge, booking a stay at the place of implementation of a short form of education with the possibility of its cancellation at no cost, etc.
  6. We would like to inform you that in the case of people who have qualified for the trips, and who have not been completed due to the current epidemic situation (cancellation of conferences, workshops, etc.), it is possible to submit new travel applications by e-mail (without the need to send attachments and declarations).
