About me

I am a graduate of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. I graduated with a master's degree (2013) in environmental protection and a doctoral school (2018).

During my PhD, I participated in the implementation of projects (contractor, author) and prepared publications.

Since 2017, I have been working at the Research Support Office as a coordinator for Horizon Europe projects (and before Horizon 2020). In my work, I support scientists in terms of budget, formal issues of projects and programs, and also help in searching for partners.

I am the university coordinator of the Euroleague for Life Sciences Support Team Research Support Offices group. We cooperate in the exchange of good practices, joint application for projects and prepare courses and training for PhD students and young scientists.

I am currently involved in the European Biodeconomy University alliance. A working group has been created within the EBU to identify calls in the Horizon Europe program in which the alliance can apply.
I am a person who has experience in implementing both scientific and administrative projects. This experience helps to understand how projects work and the requirements of both parties: scientists and the funding institution.
