It is a great \nopportunity to get to know each other better, feel a sense of unity with the team, and take \npride in participating in a shared endeavor. There is no doubt that all of this was achieved, \nand the consortium members left the meeting full of the enthusiasm and drive necessary to \nachieve the project\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting, organized by the project leader - the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the \nPolish Academy of Sciences - took place on January 22\u201323, 2026, in Pozna\u0144. On the first \nday, at the IBCH PAS headquarters, a series of open lectures in English was held, attended \nby a large group of IBCH PAS staff and doctoral students, as well as guests from outside the \nInstitute.
