Are you studying but your classes are not enough for you? Do you keep asking new questions, are interested in learning and imagine a future at the university? The Student Grant is the program for you – if you have an idea for a research project, can describe it, plan it and justify its importance, you can receive PLN 25000 to implement it.

Male and female single degree programs students (including English Division) and double degree students can apply for the program. The regulations, application form and other documents related to the program are available on the Extranet. We kindly ask you to read them carefully before submitting your application.

Applications should be sent to studenckie.granty@gumed.edu.pl by 15 May 2024.

After a formal assessment, the proposals will take part in the competition procedure. It will be carried out under the responsibility of the Scientific Council (Prof. Tomasz Bączek, Prof. Miłosz Jaguszewski and Prof. Anna Żaczek) and a team of reviewers appointed by it, which will make a substantive assessment of the submitted research projects based on the following criteria:

• originality of the research problem,
• the research methodology adopted,
• the relevance of the research findings in a theoretical/practical context,
• the innovative nature of the research,
• the reasonableness of the costs in relation to the object and scope of the planned work.

Funding will be awarded to a minimum of 10 projects with the highest scores. Importantly, those whose projects are rated highest will not only receive financial support, but also mentor support during the research as well as dedicated training or workshops to develop their chosen competencies and skills.

The planned date for the announcement of the results in the first edition of the Student Grant programme is 30 June 2024.

Need help planning and describing your research project?

We know that the acquisition of knowledge and skills in research project planning and implementation or academic writing is not possible during the implementation of the standard curriculum. This is why the second edition of the ‘Essentials of a Young Researcher’ course, a series of workshops for those taking their first steps in scientific activity, will be launched in March. This year, they may prove particularly helpful to those planning to apply for the Student Grant program.

We will publish the dates and topics of the meetings in the coming days!

Do you have questions? I will be happy to help
