The project is realised within the SONATA grant of
NCN.
The competition and the scholarship is subject to general NCN regulations about scholarships, see part I of the linked document.
Time span of the project:
July 17th, 2014 -- July 16th, 2017 (36 months)

- The student receiving scholarship must write his/her Master thesis under the supervision of
Jarosław Buczyński or Oskar Kędzierski.
- The Master thesis must be related to one of the topics of the project (in algebraic geometry).
- The scholarships are awarded for students who win an open competition. A total of 18 person months will be distributed to the best candidates.

- The selection of the candidates will be performed by a commission consisting of: Jarosław Buczyński, Oskar Kędzierski, Karol Palka.
- Based on the applications a commission will choose up to four best candidates.
- Those best candidates will be invited for an interview.
After the interview the commission will choose at most three students to participate in the project.
