The head of our group, Professor Anna Chrobok, is honored to serve as a member of the Monitoring Committee for the ‘European Funds for Silesia 2021-2027’ program on behalf of the Central Council of Science and Higher Education.

The Monitoring Committee functions as an independent advisory and opinion-giving body for the institution managing the program and is appointed by that institution. It comprises representatives from the government, local government, science, as well as social and economic partners, including non-governmental organizations.
