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. Sławomir Sułowicz (University of Silesia in Katowice).
“I did a three-week internship at the University of Oslo, where I joined the Oslo Mycology Group. Together with members of this group, I continued the co-working started during an expedition to the Polish Polar Station in Hornsund, Spitsbergen on microorganisms found in snow. The cooperative analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data of microbial assemblies from snow revealed that even pure snow in the Arctic is never free of microbes.“
