Three scientists at the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław have won scholarships from the START programme of the Foundation for Polish Science. The scholarship holders are selected through a multi-stage competition in which the quality of their previous scientific output is assessed.
Dr Dariusz Strugarek received a scholarship with distinction for his research in satellite geodesy, while Dr Aleksandra Wdowczyk was awarded a scholarship for studying the properties of leachate water from municipal landfills in terms of selected biological treatment processes.
The research conducted by Daria Marczak, the third scholarship holder of the programme, concerns the reduction of water consumption necessary for proper plant development, rational support of vegetation and adaptation to climate change by means of sustainable technologies.
START is a one-year scholarship for outstanding young scholars at the beginning of their careers. The programme is designed to recognise the most talented young scientists and encourage their further scientific development.
