The Harsval project includes also strengthening the mobility of scientists between Polish and Norwegian entities. The outcome will be the integration of the Polish and Norwegian scientific communities, increased cohesion through increased competence and skills, and the creation of new international scientific initiatives based on Polish-Norwegian consortia to solve complex research challenges.
More information about the mobility programme you can found in WP2.

We received a report about the internship at the University of Oslo from Dr. Piotr Król (Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences).

“In collaboralon with Professor Lars E. Augland, Dr. Piotr Król’s research stay at the University of Oslo focused on the analysis of Archean rocks (4-2.5 Ma) from Antarclca, Canada and India. These rocks are of parlcular significance in the field of geology, as they facilitate the comprehension of the Earth’s origins and enable the reconstruclon of geological processes that occurred when plate tectonics began to prevail on the planet. Rock samples were analyzed in the micro-area using an electron microscope (SEM) along with a variety of detectors. The laboratory work will allow interpretalon of the zircon U-Pb dalng results; understanding the behavior of zircon subjected to temperatures above 1000°C; and furthermore, idenlfying as yet unknown mineral phases in these unique rocks.
