The winners of 2023 NCN Award will be announced on Wednesday, 11 October. This most prestigious distinction for early-stage researchers working in Poland will be awarded for the eleventh time. The ceremony will be streamed online.
The NCN Award is given to researchers under the age of 40 with a substantial record in the field of basic research, documented by publications affiliated with Polish research centres. The award is given in three groups of disciplines: Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (HS), Physical Sciences and Engineering (ST), and Life Sciences (NZ), and the main criterion in the selection process is scientific excellence and international recognition.
The award has been presented to 30 researchers since 2013, when it was conferred for the first time.
This year, the jury will select winners among 44 candidates. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony on 11 October held in the Gallery of 19th-Century Polish Art in Sukiennice (Branch of the Krakow National Museum).
The event will start at 6:30 p.m. and will be streamed online, on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/ncngovpl) and on X/Twitter.
The programme will feature speeches by the Acting Director and by the President of the NCN Council, a presentation of the profiles of the award winners and speeches by the award winners.
The event is supported by Nauka w Polsce and Forum Akademickie.
In November and December, the award winners will deliver lectures as part of the “Nauka w Centrum” [Science in the Centre] series organised jointly by the National Science Centre and the Copernicus Centre Foundation.
