In 2021, the PolSCA Office – in synergy with the PASIFIC program – initiated a network of science managers as part of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the so-called Horizon Europe Navigators.

Identified among the employees of the Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences, HE Navigators support the effective transfer of information in the scientific environment of their Institutes and the effective distribution of the training offer of the PolSCA Office and partners. The common goal of the PolSCA Office and the HE Navigators Network is to deepen knowledge and exchange good practices, and consequently – to increase the participation of the Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences in the Horizon Europe framework programme. Currently, 62 institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences and several auxiliary units of the Polish Academy of Sciences are involved in the network.

In 2022, the PolSCA Office organized a number of dedicated meetings – in online format – for members of the network, the so-called “HE Navigators MeetUps” and several meetings as part of the series “PolSCA webinars on Horizon Europe” open to the environment of academics and research managers at the Academy. All these events were online meetings.

In 2023, meetings in the form of webinars will be continued (the first one took place in January and concerned RMAs associations), and the PolSCA Team is also planning to be more active in the country (the first regional meeting was held in February in Poznań).
