V4 Training – spring 2023

V4 Training is a training course designed for experienced research managers working in project departments (primarily international: H2020 and Horizon Europe) exclusively at universities, scientific and research institutes (not companies) in departments responsible for acquisition, management and reporting.

The event, the spring edition of which will take place between March 29 and 31, is organized in Brussels by the Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA together with the Czech Liaison Office for Education and Science (CZELO), the National Research, Development and Innovation Office in Hungary (NRDIO) and the Slovak Liaison Office for Research and Development (SLORD). Its main objective is to expand the knowledge, and at the same time strengthen the relevance of the activities, of the staff of the project departments at the institutes, which in turn will contribute to increasing Polish participation in the Horizon Europe framework program.

The total number of participants from each country of the Visegrad Group and from countries affiliated to IGLO (Informal Group of RTD Liaison Offices) is 35 people, including 7 managers from Poland.

The V4 Training program usually features speeches by representatives of the European Commission, experts from liaison offices or universities. In addition, participants are encouraged to exchange experiences during group work and networking meetings. We will present details of the upcoming edition to the selected participants in February 2023.
