We are pleased to announce that Assoc. Prof. Robert Pyka, PhD, has been appointed as an expert and reviewer for the French National Research Agency (Agence Nationale de la Recherche – ANR), the French counterpart of Poland’s National Science Centre (NCN).

As a member of ANR’s international evaluation panel, which convened in Paris at the end of April, prof. Pyka reviewed project proposals submitted under the “Sustainable City, Innovative Building” call (Ville Durable et Bâtiment Innovant):
