Radosław Zajdel, PhD student of the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics of the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław, won a scholarship in the competition of the National Science Center Etiuda 8. He will participate in an internship of the German Space Agency.

Radosław Zajdel is the third year student of doctoral studies. He deals with the determination of global geodetic parameters with the use of the Galileo satellite system. Thanks to data analysis, by improving the quality of geodetic parameters, scientists are gaining an understanding of temporal and spatial changes such as rising ocean levels and melting glaciers.

The scholarship holder will go to the German Space Agency (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) for three months, where he will work under the supervision of Prof. Oliver Montenbruck, head of the IGS Multi-GNSS Pilot Project (MGEX) research group operating within the framework of the International GNSS Service.
