The 5th anniversary   

Celebrations of 5 years of the Foundation’s operation

In 2007, the Polpharma Scientific Foundation celebrated its 5th year of operation. The anniversary was celebrated during the event of the handing out of grants to the laureates of the 5th issue of the competition. That opportunity was used to hand out medals for service to the development of the Foundation to the members of the Scientific Board (of the current and previous term of office). The medals were made by a well-known medal-making artist, Ryszard Strzelecki

 

After five years of its operation, the Foundation has considerable achievements to its credit. From the beginning of its existence, it conducted five issues of the competition to which over 300 research projects were submitted. Grants were given to 38 research teams, in which 22 projects (all from the 1st issue) have already been completed. During that time, new programs were initiated, such as scholarships for doctoral students or an award for the winner of the National Competition for Master’s Theses in Pharmaceutical Faculties.
 
Many people, particularly members of the Scientific Board, who have been devoting their time performing voluntary work for the Foundation, have contributed to the Foundation’s success. In order to thank them for their great work, the Board, at the request of the Management Board of the Foundation, decided to honor them with a medal. The medal was also given to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Polpharma SA, Jerzy Starak, without whose initiative to establish the Foundation we could not celebrate the fifth anniversary of its operation.
“Such support for Polish science is a model approach that should be copied. This is extremely important for us because it enables us to exist in the ranks of those scientific and research institutes that create science,” said Professor Witold Rużyłło, laureate of the 2nd issue of the competition.

 

List of persons who have been decorated with the medal:
Jerzy Starak, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Polpharma SA, Professors: Eugeniusz Butruk ,Grzegorz Grynkiewicz, Witold Gumułka, Roman Kaliszan, Piotr Kuna, Hubert Kwieciński, Grzegorz Opolski, Edmund Przegaliński, Jacek Spławiński, and Cezary Szczylik.
