IMol has sent a letter to the Minister of Science and Higher Education regarding the upcoming excellence development program for the institutes of Polish Academy of Sciences.
In the letter, Prof. Victor Ambros expresses concerns that the proposed eligibility criteria based on the current institutional evaluations could exclude young, high-performing institutions such as IMol, despite its rapid scientific growth and commitment to research excellence. Together with Prof. Agnieszka Chacińska, they call for an independent expert evaluation within the excellence programme.
