Tak jak uzgodniono na ostatnich kwietniowych obradach Konsorcjum Progres3 w dniu 20 maja na Politechnice Opolskiej zorganizowano zebranie inicjujące pracę zespołów roboczych przedstawicieli Uczelni zrzeszonych w Konsorcjum.

Tym razem jednak, udział w pracach trzech tematycznie powiązanych zespołów badawczych, wyłonionych w poprzednich obradach, wzięli naukowcy z 9  spośród 13 zrzeszonych w Konsorcjum Uczelni, którzy zostali oddelegowani przez swoich rektorów.

W czasie owocnych, a także burzliwych obrad, moderowanych przez prof. dr hab. Krzysztofa Malika (przewodniczącego Konsorcjum) wspólnie zweryfikowano i dokonano wyboru, spośród licznych tematów w ramach Programu Horyzont 2020, już te, w których Uczelnie będą aplikowały z wnioskami projektowymi o przyznanie środków finansowych w ramach tego Programu.

Pomocną radą i cennymi uwagami służyła nam pani Dominika Raróg-Oślizlok z Regionalnego Punktu Kontaktowego ds. Programów badawczych UE działającego przy Politechnice Śląskiej w Gliwicach.

Z optymistycznym nastawieniem, naukowcy opuścili mury Politechniki Opolskiej z licznymi pomysłami na ciekawe tematy i świadomością dalszych zadań wynikających z wymogów aplikacji projektowych do Programu H2020.

 

Zespoły projektowe Horyzont 2020 - nowe

 

23.04.2014 - Spotkanie robocze w Politechnice Opolskiej

Konkretnymi ustaleniami zakończyło się spotkanie przedstawicieli uczelni zrzeszonych w Konsorcjum Progres 3. Na roboczym spotkaniu, które odbyło się na Politechnice Opolskiej, wskazano osoby z poszczególnych uczelni, które w zaproponowanych już po ostatnim spotkaniu obszarach badawczych będą pracować nad wnioskami w ramach pozyskiwania środków z Horyzontu 2020.

- Spotkanie takie jak to jest szczególnie ważne, gdy chcemy razem wykorzystać pojawiające się szanse, jak na przykład w temacie energetyki. Sytuacja w Europie staje się skomplikowana, a nauka ma coraz więcej do powiedzenia – zwrócił uwagę obecnych rektor Politechniki Opolskiej prof. Marek Tukiendorf, witając przybyłych gości. Rektor Tukiendorf przypomniał, że 7 kwietnia na Politechnice Opolskiej odbył się Polsko-Portugalski szczyt energetyczny, na którym omawiano między innymi możliwość odwrócenia kierunku transferu gazu w Europie na kierunek Zachód-Wschód oraz możliwość partycypowania w gospodarowaniu energią w Europie. Zdaniem rektora Tukiendorfa uczelnie zrzeszone w Progres 3 powinny brać pod uwagę aktywność w tej dziedzinie.

Spotkanie poprowadził prof. Krzysztof Malik, prorektor ds. współpracy i rozwoju Politechniki Opolskiej, przewodniczący konsorcjum. Obszary badawcze zgłoszone przez uczelnie zostały przyporządkowane konkretnym zespołom, a te będą już teraz mogły opracowywać swoje pomysły, by razem składać projekty.

- My jako lider oczywiście będziemy te prace koordynować – mówił prof. Krzysztof Malik - Jestem przekonany, że po tak owocnym dzisiejszym inicjującym działania spotkaniu nastąpią kolejne.

Zgodnie z założeniami spotkania przedstawiciele uczelni zadeklarowali miejsce i terminy kolejnych spotkań konkretnych grup roboczych.

- Jestem optymistycznie nastawiony, bo jest dużo tematów, osób i ośrodków, które widzą możliwość współpracy – powiedział nam po spotkaniu prof. Jerzy Mościński z Politechniki Śląskiej. – Oby projekty, które opracujemy, dostały dofinansowanie.

Spotkania grup roboczych pracujących nad konkretnymi obszarami badawczymi dającymi możliwość wspólnego aplikowania po środki unijne odbywać się będą w maju i czerwcu.

Prof. Piotr Wieczorek, Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry, Opole University, noted that by creating the Consortium in 2011, universities have implemented an overtaking step, because in the current EU programming the emphasis lies on  larger consortia, not on independent research projects. Platform Consortium Progress 3 may enable universities to apply for large international projects.
