Converging the realms: Bridging Academic and Industrial Research – Science: Polish Perspectives (SPP) Meetup, Berkeley 2023
The SPP Meetup in Berkeley is the first in-person SPP Meetup in the United States, organized by the Polonium Foundation. The event is being prepared together with our local collegues from the Polish Club of Berkeley and will adopt a conference format with a condensed program of lectures and networking sessions. Local university organizations strongly support the Polonium Foundation in organizing the SPP event.
The main objective of the event is to promote the work of Polish scientists in the Northern California region and create favorable conditions for establishing new and deeper relationships between Polish professionals and the multidisciplinary research community. This will be the first much-needed event of its kind for the Polish local research community after the pandemic period. Participants of the event will represent leading universities (UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCSF, and others), Silicon Valley companies, and other institutions interested in research and science in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The organizers hope that the event will generate significant interest and contribute to the integration of the local Polish professional-scientific community in the region, as well as integration with Poland. Join us and other Polish researchers and science enthusiasts, students, doctoral candidates, postdocs, young professionals, academia, and industry!
We warmly invite you to participate and collaborate.
