Student Team Research Project Competition 'Science Initiative'

Thanks to this competition, students gain teamwork skills, opportunities for collaboration and implementation of the most ambitious scientific ideas at an interdisciplinary level.
The competition itself has existed since 2019 and has already facilitated the implementation of about 20 fully fledged independent research projects. Here you can learn more about the first competition held in 2019/2
