Excellenceair: talks on science

— Editors

Excellenceair is a podcast devoted to science and research conducted at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń by winners of the Initiative of Excellence – Research University (IDUB) programme, recipients of prestigious grants and research enthusiasts.

The project was developed by the IDUB Programme Section operating in the NCU Research and Project Support Department. The idea stemmed from the need to show how diverse and inspiring the research carried out at the university is – from exact and natural sciences to humanities, arts and new technologies.

In each episode, the podcast creators invite scientists from the Nicolaus Copernicus University to talk about their projects, discoveries and experiences related to research work.

Excellenceair Podcast:

• presents profiles of researchers at the Nicolaus Copernicus University,
• highlights the diversity of scientific topics and methods,
