3xW – Strategic Partnership
„3xW (Exchange, Cooperation, and Joint Research Tasks to strengthen the potential of young plant biology researchers)”
the project supported by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA)
under the NAWA Strategic Partnership Programme – Call 2024
The aim of the project is to internationalise the education of doctoral students and develop young scientific staff at the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IBB) of the Polish Academy of Sciences by strengthening cooperation with foreign partners, conducting joint research, improving communication skills in an international environment and implementing modern, hybrid teaching tools that will increase the quality and accessibility of the IBB’s educational offer.
The project is implemented in cooperation between IBB and five partner institutions:
- Institut de Biologie Moléculaire des Plantes (IBMP), CNRS, France,
- Wageningen University & Research Centre (WUR), Netherlands,
- The Centre for Organismal Studies (COS), Heidelberg, Germany,
- Centre for Environmental Sciences (CMK), Hasselt University, Belgium,
- Bogazici University, Turkey.
The target group are PhD students affiliated with and employees of IBB and partner institutions.
The project includes the implementation of:
- 30 international exchanges between IBB and partner institutions,
- workshops on the use of AI in education and scientific research,
- scientific conferences for PhD students of the Doctoral School of Molecular Biology and Biological Chemistry IBB and for PhD students from partner institutions,
- a lecture series on contemporary aspects of plant molecular biology,
- 24 minigrants to foster collaboration between scientific groups from IBB and partner institutions,
- activities promoting the Doctoral School of Molecular Biology and Biological Chemistry IBB.
