EMERGE-EU: AI and Health – networking study visit to Brussels. Open registration.
Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA in Brussels in cooperation with international partners is organising „EMERGE-EU: Networking Study Visit for Emerging Researchers in AI and Health”, which will take place on 15-17 June 2026 in Brussels.
The visit will focus on AI and Health, with particular attention to funding opportunities, consortium building, and project development at the intersection of science, technology and healthcare. The preliminary programme includes thematic sessions with representatives of the European Commission, meetings devoted to opportunities offered by the ERC, EIC and COST, as well as an overview of upcoming opportunities under Horizon Europe. The agenda also features a matchmaking session bringing together participants from different countries, along with a study visit to one of Belgium’s research institutions. Participants will represent countries such as: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and the United Kingdom.
The event is addressed to young, outstanding leaders entering or strengthening their independence in the world of science (R2/early R3 level). Ideal candidates to participate in the study visit are scientists in the field of health and life sciences who base their research on AI tools, and scientists in ICT who develop AI tools for researchers in the field of health and life sciences.
Due to organisational reasons the PolSCA Office can select maximum of four participants from Poland for this visit. Therefore we encourage research institutions to internally identify and recommend candidates, who best fit the event’s profile and can fully benefit from its potential.
Registration is open till 13 May 2026,12:00. You can find the registration form here: REGISTRATION FORM

Poland tests a mechanism the Research Community has been calling for years
Poland is close to launching a mechanism to transfer funds from cohesion policy to Horizon Europe. The plan involves redirecting 30 million euros from the national FENG programme to Horizon Europe to finance additional, highly-rated projects from Polish applicants in European calls. The mechanism is intended to cover above all ERC grants and the EIC Accelerator instrument. The decision still requires approval from the European Commission. The PolSCA Office and representatives of the national research community have indicated the need to include MSCA individual fellowships in this mechanism.

Thirty years of MSCA Programme is more than an anniversary. It’s a chance to look honestly at what mobility has enabled across Europe, what still blocks talent circulation, and how MSCA can better help close gaps between research and innovation ecosystems as the FP10 debate approaches. This event is designed as a working conversation participatory, practical, and built around real experience rather than ceremony. REGISTER NOW and join us on 21 May in Brussels!

The second edition of the PolSCA Masterclass workshops was a two-day, intensive programme devoted to the practical aspects of professional management of projects funded through European funds. Participants explored the PM2 methodology, developed by the European Commission specifically for EU-funded projects, with a particular focus on the specifics of research projects. Attention centred on the key components of effective managementand the workshops followed an interactive format, based on hands-on work with real-life case studies and simulation exercises.
(wiecej…)The CARDEA meeting in Kraków is already behind us!
The CARDEA consortium meeting in Kraków showed that winning European grants takes more than scientific excellence. It also takes professional research management. On 27 January 2026, the Henryk Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics PAS hosted research managers, project administrators and grant specialists who turn ambitious scientific ideas into workable, well-run projects.
The programme focused on hands-on exchange rather than formalities: from leadership and managing international grants, through a discussion on how Polish institutions can build stronger, system-level support, to a study visit to the cyclotron and proton therapy facility at Cyclotron Centre Bronowice. The takeaways are clear: research management is becoming a foundation of success in Horizon Europe projects, PolSCA strengthens its role as a bridge between Brussels and Polish research centres, and the emerging PolARMA initiative has real potential to build a professional community with shared standards.
