Due to concerns about the current competition of Francium Supporting Outstanding Doctoral Candidates and at the request of the Chairman of the PhD Student Union, we are providing a link to a post from the website of the Doctoral Student Government, which includes a letter of 13/12/2022 to doctoral students on this matter.

Stypendium FRANCIUM / FRANCIUM Scholarship

As the Doctoral School, we would like to note that:

1. The formal processing of applications is carried out by the School Office. The office staff works on the basis of regulations. All applications, together with their list, are forwarded to the evaluation committee headed by dr hab. Ewa Lechman, Prof. PG, for content-related assessment.
2. The aforementioned letter to doctoral students in item 1 does not modify the provisions of ZR 75/2022 in any way, either as to the letter or interpretation. Item 3 of paragraph 4 of ZR 75/2022 does not state any exclusions.
3. All journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science will be considered in assessing the minimum requirements, even if they belong to the Business Model Open Access group. However, publications in Business Model Open Access publications will not be graded - the committee will not award any points for them. 
4. Applicants can submit a maximum of 5 achievements. Applications with more than that will be returned by the committee for correction.
