Dear Readers,

It’s been a long time since you last read our newsletter, but before this year ends we would like to share with you a bunch of good news.

We are glad to let you know that 110 Fellows have already started their POLONEZ BIS projects in Poland and 24 more projects will take off in January and Aprill 2024. To learn more about funded projects visit their websites and check out the descriptions.

We continue to implement the waiting list mechanism, which allows more applicants to receive funding after others have resigned. In October we issued the decisions to fund 4 additional projects.

On 30 November-1 December over 100 Fellows and their Mentors gathered in Krakow for the Kick-off meeting. It was the third and the last one in a series of events kicking off the implementation of projects under the POLONEZ BIS programme. Fellows will continue to meet during the trainings and during the POLONEZ Fellows Forum scheduled for 2024. Scroll down for links to photos from the Kick-off meeting. 

As 2023 comes to its end, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and a happy new year!

Yours,
POLONEZ BIS Coordination Team
