We would like to kindly inform you that the Poznan Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences has announced the 11th edition of the competition for the best original creative work published in 2022, the leading author of which is a doctoral student from Wielkopolska or Lubuskie. This competition will be conducted in five thematic areas, identical to the names of the departments of PAN:
– humanities and social sciences,
– biological and agricultural sciences,
– sciences and earth sciences,
– technical sciences,
– medical sciences.
Five-member evaluation teams for the aforementioned areas will nominate one scientific paper each for the award. Winners will receive cash prizes. In addition, each evaluation team will be allowed to submit one paper for an honorable mention without a cash prize. All winners will receive diplomas awarded by the Presidium of the Poznan Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences and approved by the President of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Prof. Marek Konarzewski. Winners of the cash awards will also be invited to deliver short communiqués on the awarded work at the General Assembly of the Poznan Branch of PAN.

Last year’s edition of the competition attracted considerable interest from young scientists, and the presentation of the awarded works was an opportunity to promote interesting results and their authors.
