The purpose is to increase the number of institutions forming the network and to strengthen the activities of institutions already involved in the Region that support the development of services for doctoral students and researchers from abroad.

Expansion of the Euraxess-Wielkopolska network to include further scientific institutions in the province.

This task aims to facilitate the stay of foreign researchers in the following areas: legalization of residence, healthcare, taxes, social care for their family members, and education of children.

This activity will enable the development of managerial, intercultural, and communication skills of the Project Coordinator and Project Partners, and is mainly addressed to the academic staff and administration of the Network.

The main goal is to improve communication and enable effective, and barrier-free communication in an international environment. This will enhance the quality of service offered to foreign researchers.

As part of this task, a program will be implemented to develop the soft skills of administrative staff. These skills include: building self-confidence, resilience to challenges, coping with stress, and mental health, etc.

There are intensions to organize a comprehensive intercultural training program and a Polish language course for foreign scientists, which will help them adapt to the region and improve their well-being in their new environment.

During the project, we plan to organize the following integration events: adaptation days, outdoor cinema, a picnic for employees and their families, and coffee and tea meetings aimed at building relationships and cooperation.

These consultations will support researchers at various stages of their professional careers and will include expert lectures, interactive workshops, and consultations with specialists from various fields. They will cover, among other things:

• Career path management, finances, effective adaptation to the labor market;
• Principles of research project financing and the financial possibilities of various scientific projects;
• Adapting your CV to a career outside of science: how to mentally survive the transition from science to business.
• Exchange of experiences/consultations with business representatives within the UEP Partner Club

Brochures, videos, and gadgets promoting the Euraxess-Wielkopolska network. This will enable the dissemination of the network’s activities and increase the number of its participants and partners.

These meetings will aim to increase the mobility of scientists by presenting Wielkopolska as an attractive and friendly region, providing reliable information about the network and its beneficial impact on improving the service, and developing a common system of support for scientists.

These meetings will focus on expanding the network to include additional scientific institutions in Wielkopolska. Regular participation in events will enable the exchange of good practices among network participants, for which the Poznań University of Economics and Business is responsible.

Thanks to these meetings, the Euraxess-Wielkopolska network will become more recognizable internationally, which will increase academic mobility in the region and attract new network members.
