Subject of the competition:
Pursuant to the regulation of the Prime Minister on the criteria and procedures for the Prime Minister’s awards and the model proposal for the awards, the deadline for submitting the proposals for the year 2023 is 30 April 2024.
The Prime Minister's Awards may be granted for:
-
an outstanding dissertation to a person whose doctoral degree was conferred in the year preceding the year of the award,
-
highly regarded achievements which were the basis for the conferral of the degree of habilitated doctor to a person whose doctoral degree was conferred in the year preceding the year in which the award was made,
-
achievements in the field of research activity, including artistic creativity or implementation activity to a person who has obtained these achievements during the period of employment in an entity referred to in Article 7.1 of the Act of 20 July 2018 - Law on Higher Education and Science, or in a foreign university or research institution. The award for achievements for scientific activity, including artistic creation or implementation activity may be awarded either individually or as a team.
The rules for applying for and granting the awards are defined in the announcement of the Prime Minister's Office of 8 February 2023 on the announcement of the consolidated text of the Regulation of the Prime Minister on the criteria and procedure for awarding the prizes of the Prime Minister and the model of the proposal for awarding them (Journal of Laws of 2023 item 368).
Please make yourselves familiar with the information on drawing up proposals:
- The proposal for the awards in each category is submitted on behalf of the university by the Rector, after obtaining the approval of the University Senate.
- The Rector may nominate one candidate in a given scientific discipline for the award for an outstanding doctoral thesis and one candidate in a given scientific discipline for the award for highly regarded achievements being the basis for conferring the degree of habilitated doctor, and one candidate for an award for achievements in scientific activity, including artistic creation or implementation activity.
- The proposal must be accompanied by two recommendations. The author of the recommendation may be a person who holds at least the degree of habilitated doctor, is not employed at the same institution as the candidate for the award, has not been a supervisor or reviewer in any proceedings for conferring the degree of doctor or habilitated doctor on the candidate for the award, and is not in such a legal or factual relationship with the candidate for the award that there could be justified doubts as to his or her impartiality.
