They are the winners of numerous contests and competitions. They are passionate about science. They participate in many additional scientific activities, in their free time they play musical instruments, dance and do various sports. This is how we can describe the winners of this year’s ADAMED SmartUP program.

On 2^nd September, during the final gala, we got to know ten winners of the main prize and three scholarship winners who were selected among last year’s laureates. Every person among the selected ones has different interests, yet there is something that all of them have in common – it is the passion for science.

This year’s final gala was unique, because following several months of virtual consultations, workshops, own experiments and two online science camps, we had an opportunity to meet live with all participants and express congratulates to everyone.

We selected ten winners, but all participants in our program should be applauded. You belong to the generation of attentive and sensitive people. You know perfectly well the world of emerging technologies and new media. You think and act interdisciplinary. You understand the need for cooperation. You are aware of today’s challenges. It is you who will change the world – emphasized Katarzyna Dubno, a Member of the Board of the Adamed Foundation. Top ten Ten winners of the main prize of the 7^th edition of ADAMED SmartUP will take part in a year-long program of individual educational consultations in the school year 2021/2022.
