Long-term cooperation between Novasome R&D Centre and the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Wrocław was expanded in the May of 2022 by additional elements related to the supporting of educational, advisory-consulting and other projects.
“Joint initiatives realized between Novasome R&D Centre and Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Wrocław aim to establish an environment that supports the cooperation between the scientific field and business. Valuable elements of this cooperation are actions, which help in the practical introduction of the results of R&D research projects and their distribution, joint participation in scientific conferences, mutual support in the attainment of the newest scientific and technical achievements, and joint implementation of master’s thesis and implementation doctorates” – says Professor Sławomir Brzeski, Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Wrocław.
As a part of this cooperation, Novasome R&D Centre of Hasco Group launched a scholarship programme eligible for the students of the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Wrocław that finished the 2nd year of undergraduate studies. Scholarship for the academic year of 2022/23 was granted to a 2nd year student, the theme of which was the organic synthesis of compounds implementable in the pharmaceutics or chemical industry.
“We are delighted to help students, who want to gain work experience in the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of our cooperation with the University of Wroclaw is not only the motivation of the students to focus on self-development, but also the emphasis on satisfactory academic grades. The programme is going to allow Beneficiaries to conduct joint research as part of the diploma thesis” – says dr Maciej Barys, Operation Director of Novasome R&D Centre.
