Two researchers from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń will realize their projects thanks to funding from the Sonata call of the National Science Center addressed to people with a PhD degree, obtained from 2 to 7 years before the year of application.

Dr Karolina Maria Słowik from the Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Informatics gained almost half a million PLN for the project DAEMoN: Dynamics of Asymmetric Quantum Emitters controlled using Nanostructures. Dr Anna Wójtewicz from the humanities department will implement the project: “Cultural practices related to the body in everyday life of four generations of Polish men. Sociological analysis” thanks to the co-financing of almost 290 thousand PLN.

The Sonata call aims to support people starting a scientific career in conducting innovative basic research using modern equipment or an original methodological solution.
