Under the 15th edition of the competition, 41 projects, with a total financing value of 71.7 million PLN were awarded. The maximum amount of funding allocated to a single project is 1.8 million PLN. The full allocation was given to three scientists: Dr Mateusz Gil from the Department of Navigation at the GMU Faculty of Navigation, Dr Anna Kotowska-Zimmer of the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry at the Polish Academy of Sciences, and Dr Ewelina Bartuzi-Trokielewicz of the Science and Academic Computer Network at the National Research Institute.
LIDER is the longest-running programme offered by the National Centre for Research and Development – over fifteen editions of this initiative, over 600 young researchers have been selected and granted approximately 800 million PLN for their original research projects.
