The participants were welcomed by the Head of the ImPRESS Doctoral Studies, Vice-Dean for Science at the Faculty of Medicine, prof. dr hab. Anna Moniuszko-Malinowska.

At the meeting, we hosted Michał Dobrowolski and Jakub Wszeborowski from the MUB’s International Cooperation Department, who talked about the possibility of obtaining external grants: the Bekker and the Walczak Programmes. Students also received useful information on applying for grants financed by Polish institutions - PRELUDIUM (NCN).

In the next part, prof. Moniuszko-Malinowska, presented PhD students with the possibility of extending employment and studies under the ImPRESS project. PhD students who want to take advantage of this opportunity will be able to apply to an open and transparent call which will be announced at the end of April this year.

The Vice-Dean explained the participants the option of writing a doctoral dissertation in the form of a monograph and described what this “big book” should look like.

Urszula Ullmann from the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Medicine told the students about the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

Finally, administrative issues were raised reminding the doctoral students about: submitting PIT37, the necessity of submitting all applications and settlements on time, and the obligation to include the ImPRESS funding clause in all their publications.

We would like to thank all participants for their presence at the meeting.
