The scholarship awarded through the nationwide competition includes a six-month internship, mentorship and scientific cooperation at a German institution for the implementation of an own project related to environmental problems. Two such scholarships were awarded in Poland in 2023. Ewa chose the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. The topic of Ewa’s doctoral project in the field of experimental mineralogy is the study of the mechanisms and effectiveness of a novel method of removing arsenic contamination from water by precipitating lead apatite.
