In general, 13 AGH UST scientists received the MINIATURA 5 grants.

As part of the MINIATURA 5 competition, scientists can apply for grants for preliminary and pilot studies, library studies, internships, research visits, and consultations. The applications were accepted in an ongoing mode from May to September.

One of the objectives of the MINIATURA competition is to expand the community of NCN competition laureates and to encourage researchers from centres that use the Centre’s offer to a limited extent to participate in such contests. Applications can be submitted by scientists who had never led a project funded by the NCN, nor were they laureates of competitions for doctoral scholarships or internships.
