“To Poland For Science” is a one-day event promoting mental well-being within the Polish and international scientific communities. It is the second event in the “To Poland For Science” series, which aims to bring together researchers working in Poland and members of the Polish scientific diaspora.

The “To Poland For Science” conference will focus on building a healthy and resilient scientific community: how to take care of one’s well-being, how to develop lasting and meaningful personal and professional relationships, which tools can help improve mental health, and what scientific research tells us about all of these issues.

We are inviting you to participate and network with members of Polish diaspora, discuss your research and spend valuable time with Polonium and our partners. Excited to see you join the discussion,

Polonium Foundation

REGISTRATION IS OPEN

Event Programme

As a foundation, we are committed to supporting the continuous exchange of knowledge between Poland and the Polish scientific diaspora, as well as between the Polish scientific diaspora and other diasporas that together shape the global scientific community.

In addition to experts in fields such as cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, and neuroeducation, the conference will bring together representatives of science diplomacy, European non-governmental organizations, and student organizations, whom we especially encourage to attend.
