Research Project Laboratory Field of study: Physics
Programme code: W4-S2FZ19.2021

Module name: Research Project Laboratory
Module code: W4-2F-21-BP.06
Programme code: W4-S2FZ19.2021
Semester: winter semester 2021/2022
Language of instruction: English
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 7
Description:
The course aims to prepare students to face complex challenges as active researchers. The subject is oriented towards the student's creative problem-solving, innovative, and critical thinking skills. The module is divided into three types of classes: lecture, laboratory, and seminar. Lectures will outline a methodology of solving cutting-edge problems and will be based on a deep understanding of recent science and environmental issues and needs. Methods of transferring creative ideas and innovative concepts to real implementations will be discussed. Additionally, possible ways of application for research funds in forms of fellowships and grants will be addressed. The laboratory classes will be divided into parts related to scientific problems solvable within the scope of theoretical physics, experimental physics, and computer science. Students will learn about research projects and challenges in theoretical, experimental, and applied research, analyse the studies' results, and discuss the findings with other students. The instructor will also discuss applied practices for writing grant proposals within the topics discussed. The seminars will be devoted to discussing a representative research project. Based on their academic preference, each student will choose a suitable topic and prepare a presentation. The seminar should include a selected scientific project that could be a base for grant applications, e.g. NCN early researchers grants.
