2026 YCN Workshop in Poland

The next YCN Workshop will be held from 6th to 9th July 2026 in Otrębusy Palace, Poland. 

We are pleased to invite you to the 5th YCN Workshop, taking place in Otrębusy, Poland from July 6th-July 9th! During these four days, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills through four different workshop sessions and meet fellow researchers in the field of ceramics. As this marks the 10th anniversary of the YCN Committee, this will be a particularly special workshop which will help you bridge the gap between your current and next career stage.

This workshop is dedicated to young researchers - Master’s students, PhD students, and postdocs (within 10 years of completing their PhD) and covers the following sessions:

·         Funding strategies and opportunities

·         Networking and Assertive Skills

·         Leadership training

·         AI tools

The registration fee of €100 covers accommodation (in shared rooms) and meals for the duration of the workshop. In addition, 20 travel grants of €250, funded by JECS Trust, are available to support attendance. Priority will be given to applicants presenting posters on research covering any topic within the field of ceramics.

Beyond skill development, the workshop provides an excellent opportunity to foster new collaborations and engage in meaningful discussions with peers in the field of ceramics.
