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 full edition in PDF can be found on our social media channels; the website also provides the edition with working links to the individual sources.
