Prof. Krzysztof Abramski from the electronics department received funding for his project “Low-loss anti-resonance fibers for the mid-infrared range – research on the possibilities of use in gas lasers and laser gas detection”. Dr Eng. Dominika Wawrzyńczyk from the chemical department will study “Combination conversion of photon energy in nanoparticles doped with lanthanide ions for applications in biology and medicine”.

The competition enabled to obtain funds for basic research in the area of life sciences, technical sciences and selected disciplines of social sciences.
