Two members of our team, Katarzyna Grab and Tomasz Śpiewla, have been awarded the “START” scholarship by the Foundation for Polish Science — an honor granted to outstanding young researchers under the age of 30. The “START” program honors early-career researchers who have already achieved significant research successes. This year, over 800 applications were approved, and only 100 recipients were selected.

The scholarships will be officially awarded on June 13 at 12:00 p.m. at the Wawel Royal Castle in Kraków.

This is a great achievement and a strong motivation for our young scientists. Congratulations once again!
