We are launching a new communication format on the PS UP website and social media – the weekly round-up “PROJECT weekly&briefly”. In it, you’ll find the latest news on research and funding, open calls for project proposals, opportunities to get involved in research and educational programmes, and reports from past events.
The complete edition in PDF can be found on our social media channels; it is also available on the website with working links to the individual sources.
