As the project aims to bring a new research culture to one of the widening countries, and develop understanding of the horizontal impact of science and technology the core of the project is focused on training, knowledge exchange and building capacity.
For the entire period of the project, 25 trainings were completed by 19 UPWr researchers at different level of their career development – 7 Experienced Researchers (ERs), 6 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) and 6 MSc. They spent 43 months of training in total, on-line and in-person. These trainings play an important role in the scientific career development of the UPWr staff. The newly gained expertise resulted in obtaining PhD and MSc degrees with outstanding qualifications, in inspiration for further scientific growth by joining the UPWr Doctoral School. On the other hand, the work of the ERs was recognised by a number of UPWr Rector’s awards for scientific and organisational achievements. A number of talks and posters have been presented at different scientific forums, which expanded the popularity of the project and its goals for integration of data and results from diverse geosciences.
Moreover, meetings with business partners: producers and consumers of the research and innovation, made a clear pathway for further development of applied research in the field of satellite and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing.
The GATHERS team became recognisable among the community for its high level of educational and organisational capabilities. The events structured to bring together a new cohort of enthusiasts – Summer/Winter Schools and Hackathons, attracted very motivated young researchers. The GATHERS team became recognisable among the community for its high level of educational and organisational capabilities. The events structured to bring together a new cohort of enthusiasts – Summer/Winter Schools and Hackathons, attracted many motivated young researchers – 345 candidates in total for all the three schools, from which 96 were approved for the Schools, while 36 took part in the two Hackathons. By providing two-level, basic and advanced, training during the GATHERS Schools an environment for upgrading the knowledge, forming stables working groups, who continued their collaboration further under the UPWr ER and ESR mentorship.
The succesful synergy between the GATHERS partners also resulted in subsequent cooperation in several project submissions and scientific publications based on the joint studies performed during the ER, ESR and MSc trainings:
