Conducting science nowadays is not only properly devoting time to research but also managing administrative tasks. Therefore, proper administrative support can have a remarkable impact on the scientific productivity of research groups by contributing to a more efficient and effective work environment which allows the scientists to focus mainly on the science. The scientific activity of the Nencki Institute scientists is supported by qualified and devoted employees of Administrative Units which provide supplies necessary for research and help scientific teams to successfully navigate the research policy landscape. They also support the scientific infrastructure of the Institute and provide research space management.
