We are pleased to announce that two of our employees were among the winners of the SONATA-19 competition, which is aimed at scientists with a doctoral degree obtained up to 7 years before the year of submitting the grant application:

• Dr. Eng. Krzysztof Ptaszyński:
  "Nonequilibrium phase transitions, synchronization and chaos in thermodynamically consistent models" (funding: 1 201 820 PLN) – read more,

• Dr. Krzysztof Wójcik:
  "The theory of surface quantum criticality" (funding: 864 492 PLN) – read more.

Both grant applications were evaluated within the section of ST (Science and Engineering) in the ST3 panel (Condensed Phase Physics). In this panel, out of 25 submitted applications, 5 received funding from the National Science Centre.

We congratulate the winners and wish them further successes in implementing their projects.
