Opening of the first Dioscuri Centres in Poland (Warsaw)

On 17th September 2019, the opening ceremony of the first Polish Dioscuri Centres will be held at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Warsaw.

Dioscuri Programme was devised by the Max Planck Society to support the development of scientific excellence in Central and Eastern Europe by promoting outstanding scientists who want to establish their research group in the form of a Dioscuri Centre. The Programme strives to institute future-oriented research fields and international standards of scientific quality throughout the region, thereby strengthening the European Research Area as a whole.

The Dioscuri Programme is first implemented in Poland, where it is jointly managed by the Max Planck Society (MPG) and the Polish National Science Centre (NCN), and funded equally by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW).
