Do you know what microorganisms inhabit the human body? Would you like to see blood cells under the microscope? Or, would you prefer to create your own hologram? Do all of this and much more during this year’s autumn edition of the ADAMED SmartUP Academy. Enrollment starts on 29 September.

This is the second time this year that we are inviting young people aged 14-19 to take part in free exact and natural science workshops. Since 2015, more than 1600 students have taken part in ADAMED SmartUP Academy. This time, the workshops will be held in three locations: Warsaw, Krakow and Lublin. The content is developed by scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology, the Jagiellonian University and the Catholic University of Lublin.

Participation in ADAMED SmartUP Academy is an opportunity for science enthusiasts to get some hands-on experience in their preferred discipline. Each workshop participant can perform experiments on their own. The classes are held by faculty members of top Polish universities, offering invaluable insight into their everyday work,” says Martyna Strupczewska of the Adamed Foundation, Head of ADAMED SmartUP. “I am delighted that students from three different Polish regions can benefit from this edition of the workshops. We want to reach out to young scientific talent across Poland,” she adds.
