UniLodz Scientists with the Awards for Young Scientists for Outstanding Achievements Contributing to the Development of Science

Scientific research is at the heart of every university – it allows us to discover, understand and change the world. This is exemplified by our scientists, who are daily involved in hundreds of outreach activities, conducting demanding research and eagerly sharing their knowledge both within and outside our university. All of these activities contribute to the successes of our researchers. This year, Dr Jakub Gortat from the Faculty of Philology, University of Lodz, and Dr Justyna Piechocka from the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Lodz, are among the recipients of the Outstanding Achievements Contributing to the Development of Science Award for Young Scientists Working in the Lodz Voivodeship.
