  • Elżbieta Jastrzębska, PhD Eng., from the Warsaw University of Technology (a beneficiary of the START 2012 programme), whose grant of over 1 million zlotys will enable her to work on the project ?Lab-on-a-chip microsystem for modelling and studying heart muscle cell growth?,

  • Szymon Pustelny, PhD, from Jagiellonian University?s Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science (a beneficiary of the START 2007, Start 2008 and KOLUMB 2011 programmes), who will receive almost 1.2 million zlotys for the project “New generation of atomic magnetometers for medicine and industry”.

The purpose of the LIDER programme is to help young researchers carry out innovative projects and gain experience in research team management. It is targeted at young researchers (up to 35 years of age) seeking to implement their own research project and improve their competence in building, running, and managing a research team. The programme also serves to stimulate cooperation between scientists and businesses through economically viable and implementable research and by encouraging mobility and exchange between research sectors, universities, and research units.

The programme?s fourth edition rewarded 41 young scientists, who will receive a total of as much as 43 million zlotys for their innovative projects. A complete list of the beneficiaries is available on the National Centre for Research and Development website.

Congratulations to all the beneficiaries.
