International PhD Projects Programme

Our programme is designed to improve the standard of scientific research conducted at the Faculty of Chemistry by outstanding researchers in the course of preparing their doctoral dissertations, and to intensify international cooperation. The programme aims to train future scientists able to work in highly competitive environment and with abilities to work across disciplines. For this purpose we carefully selected topics from among the most-innovative and most-desired modern chemistry and to-chemistry-related material science.

The projects consists of 20 subjects selected for young and prospective PhD candidates to be realized at the Faculty of Chemistry Jagiellonian University - project presentation

Students from all countries are invited to apply. Duration of each project is 4 years, including 6-24 months spent abroad in the foreign partner institutions.
