In Warsaw, awards were presented EUCYS 2014 – Onet.pl

Three first prize (7,000 euros) granted to representatives of the Czech Republic (Lubos Vozdecky, physics) and Portugal (Mariana de Pinho and Matilde Garcia Goncalves Moreira da Silva, biology, and Estacio also Joao Pedro Gaspar Gonçalves de Araújo, math).

Lubos Vozdecky studied the seemingly simple phenomenon of rolling friction . It turned out that textbooks erroneously describe the processes. Reprezentantki Portugal are snail Lymnaea stagnalis as a biological indicator of water pollution. In contrast, the Portuguese mathematician studied the properties of the so-called belt and półkrat.

Second Prizes (5,000 euros) fell to Bulgaria ( Petar Milkov Gaydarov, math-polynomials), Ireland (Paul Clarke-math – cyclic graphs) and Slovenia (Aleš Zupančič – chemistry, self-cleaning fabric.)

Three third prize (3500 euro) got Litwin Matas Navickas (bred blossoming apple tree in a test tube), British twins Ameet Kumar and Aneeta Kumar (developed a new method for the diagnosis of tumors) and Germany (Bernhard Anselm Peter Dewald, Philipp Mandler and Robin Braun-built six-legged robot.)

Unfortunately, this year none of the major awards went not to the Poles.

guest of honor at the ceremony was former President Lech Walesa. – Creatively you jealous – he said. – One generation, and what a difference. My generation lived in a world very fragmented. Each your success is my higher pension. He added that the presented work done on it a big impression, especially research on bumblebees our reprezentantki Monica Leończyk from Slupsk. Thanks zapylającym flowers bumblebees vegetables and fruits can be bigger and tastier. (Monika Leończyk received the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission – a weekly trip to the island Ispra, where there are numerous research institutes.)

the other hand, received the award from Intel Jerzy Krzysztof Szuniewicz from Poznan, who developed a method that allows easier use virtually photon entanglement – including by using genetic algorithms. Photon entanglement allows for a secure communication keys needed to decrypt the data. Earnings associated with going on next year’s contest INTEL ISEF in Pittsburgh. This will not be the first time – in the previous contest in Los Angeles Szuniewicz third place.

Contest for Young Scientists of the European Union (EUCYS) The European Commission is organizing since 1989. organizer of this year’s EUCYS 2014 was the University of Warsaw, in cooperation with the National Fund for Children and the Copernicus Science Centre and honorary patron was the President of Poland Bronislaw Komorowski.
