We are pleased to announce that the poster prepared by Paulina Biczkowska and Jakub Rusakow from the Main Library of the Medical University of Gdańsk received an award during the poster session at the EAHIL 2026 Conference.

The conference took place on 8–12 June 2026 in Antalya, Turkey, under the theme “Bridges to New Horizons: Innovations in Health Information and Medical Libraries.” The event brought together librarians and specialists in medical information, scholarly communication, and innovative solutions supporting research and education.

 


The award-winning poster, entitled “More than file formats: achieving true repository interoperability”, presented the journey undertaken by its authors through their participation in two international FAIR-Impact projects. The aim was to assess whether the university’s knowledge base and repository, the Polish Platform of Medical Research (PPM MUG), meet the requirements of the FAIR principles and interoperability standards. In other words, the project examined whether PPM enables both users and external systems to access and reuse its resources in a clear, understandable, and standards-compliant manner. The poster was presented during the official poster session held on the final day of the conference.

We warmly congratulate Paulina and Jakub on this achievement and are delighted that the experience and initiatives of the MUG Library have been recognized and appreciated by the international professional community.
