The “Ready, study!” podcast is a unique show mainly dedicated to secondary school students and based on the experience of young university students.

ADAMED SmartUP graduates who have recently started studying at prestigious universities in Poland and abroad know exactly how best to prepare for this process. We asked them to share their precious tips and observations with their younger colleagues,” says Martyna Strupczewska, ADAMED SmartUP programme manager.

The second season of the podcast, rebranded as “Ready, study!”, will be hosted by Adam Mirek – a biomedical engineering PhD student at the Polish Academy of Sciences, who doubles as a TikTok science popularizer in his free time. Recently, Adam has conducted interesting interviews with graduates of the ADAMED SmartUP programme who have gone on to study at the University of Oxford, University of Warsaw, Medical University of Warsaw or the Delft University of Technology.
