Resonators Scholarship Programme

2025 Edition

O About

The aim of the Rezonatory project is to create a unique internship programme for talented Polish male and female students of optics and photonics. The interns, selected in an open competition, will receive scholarships to cover the cost of relocating for the duration of their internship. In parallel, the participating students will be provided with a programme of specialised training to improve their soft skills.

Edition 2025

In this year’s edition, Scholarship recipients can choose internship project proposals proposed by Tutors from the University of Warsaw, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń and the Polish Technology Platform for Photonics. By the decision of the Candela Foundation Board, up to 6 scholarships will be awarded in the 2025 edition of the Resonators Programme.

Who can apply?

Male and female students of optics and photonics. A prerequisite for taking part in the programme is an internship in a city other than the one in which the person is currently studying. In the 2025 edition, internships are organised in Warsaw, Toruń and Wrocław.
