🎉 OneTick project awarded MSCA Staff Exchanges grant!
🏆 Another win from the European Commission, OneTick is funded! 🎉
Just a few days after celebrating Jarek’s ERA Fellowship, we received another incredible notification from the European Commission.
✅ Our OneTick project has been awarded MSCA Staff Exchanges! 🎓
Not only is this our first project of this kind, we’re the only project coordinated from Poland among a total 19 proposals submitted by Polish-led consortia! 😲
👏 Huge congratulations to Michał, who led the application and tirelessly coordinated with all the partners. Jarek and Valen were deeply involved in writing and structuring the proposal, but the heavy lifting, all those calls and negotiations, was on Michał’s shoulders. And he nailed it 💪
