On October 10th, 2018, the National Science Centre Awards were presented for the sixth time. The prize, established in 2013 by the NCN Council, is awarded to scientists up to the age of 40 for significant achievements in the field of basic research conducted in Polish scientific institutions. Every year, the prize is given to representatives of three research areas: art, humanities and social sciences, life sciences, natural and technical sciences.
The NCN Award is also a platform for cooperation between business and science. Every year, companies involved in social and research activities are invited to cooperate in funding the awards. Such a formula enables direct support for the young leaders shaping the future of Polish science. This year’s NCN Awards have been funded by: Adamed Group, Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa and the KGHM Polska Miedź Foundation.
We are pleased to announce that this year winner in the group of natural and technical sciences is prof. Piotr Sankowski from University of Warsaw, Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics.
Congratulations!
