For the 24^th time, the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) has awarded START stipends to the most talented young scientists throughout Poland. In 2016 stipends will go to 121 young researchers including:

Dr Michał Bola from the Laboratory of Brain Imaging headed by dr Artur Marchewka

as well as

Dr Emilia Rejmak-Kozicka from the Laboratory of Neurobiology, headed by prof. Leszek Kaczmarek.

The START programme is directed to young researchers at the outset of their career, who have already achieved some success in their field. The stipends serve as recognition of the scientific attainments so far by these young scholars and as an incentive for further growth by enabling them to devote themselves fully to their research.
