Dr. A. Zanki on a training for research project managers

Dr. Angelika Zanki, the manager and facilitator of ERC StG project “Spectral Recycling”, is a specialist with extensive knowledge in many fields of science and various skills, including those related to the preparation of the administrative and substantive part of grant applications, managing the team’s work, promoting their activities. She has knowledge of financial and legal issues and settlement of projects. Her duties also include ensuring effective communication and efficient flow of information within the project team and within the Institute regarding the implemented project.

She recently took part in the “V4 Training” co-organized by the Polish Science Contact Agency “PolSCA”, the Czech Liaison Office for Education and Research in Brussels (CZELO), the National Office for Research, Development and Innovation in Hungary (NRDIO) and the Slovak Liaison Office for Research and Development in Brussels (SLORD).

This training was dedicated to experienced research project managers from scientific institutions, mainly universities and research institutes and centres, who deal with project management, including fundraising, budgeting and reporting. The emphasis is on international projects within the EU framework programs for research and innovation (currently Horizon Europe).

As part of the 3-day “V4 Training”, which took place on November 4-6, 2024, participants could hear presentations by representatives of the European Commission, experts from liaison offices and academic centres, as well as take part in networking meetings during which they had the opportunity to exchange experiences. According to Angelika, what deserved special attention was the opportunity to meet key Polish stakeholders in Brussels: Magdalena Kula, Research Attaché at the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland and Waldemar Dubaniowski, director of the Brussels office of NCBR, as well as an additional session on the PM2 methodology (a project management methodology developed and promoted by European Commission) conducted by Marc Berghmans.

Two years of work by the ERC StG team

On the occasion of the second anniversary of the ERC Starting Grant project “Recycling the German Ghosts. Resettlement Cultures in Poland, Czechia and Slovakia after 1945 (SPECTRAL RECYCLING)” (no. 101041946), the research team has prepared a summary of the activities carried out to date.

Their research involves queries in national and local archives as well as ethnographic fieldwork in three selected regions, namely Pomerania in Poland, Northern Bohemia in Czechia, and Upper Nitra Basin in Slovakia. In the initial two years of the project, researchers successfully gathered nearly 200 interviews. This dataset encompasses both oral history interviews and ethnographic approaches. The research team spent many hours looking for the relevant documents in the archives, talking with interview partners, documenting the material objects being studied, and exploring the locations they investigated.

The team led by Dr Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska actively disseminates the results of its research through participation in radio shows, podcasts and open events, thus effectively reaching a wide audience, including those outside the academic community.

We invite you to visit the project website, where you can read more about the summary of the team’s work so far and follow the researchers’ activities on social media.

The project will last until 2027. We wish you good luck and keep our fingers crossed for further successes!
