For centuries, women have made significant contributions to virtually all fields of science, including breakthrough discoveries, inventions and innovations. To recognise the past and promote future scientific achievements of women, the United Nations declared 11 February to be the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
A new system of awarding academic teachers and researchers for high-impact publications was introduced at the Nicolaus Copernicus University at the beginning of this year. Rector’s scholarships were awarded to several scholars, including two academics from NCU Collegium Medicum: dr hab. Maria Kłopocka and dr hab. Sławomir Jeka, prof. UMK.
