Four projects from Poznan University of Technology (PUT) have been selected for funding under the SONATA call organized by the National Science Centre:

• “SWIFT – In-depth investigation of the sustainable conversion of organic waste fractions to bio-oils using bacterial-yeast microbiome fermentation technology”
  – Anna Duber, PhD  Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Energy
• “Phytocompounds as inhibitors of photo- and thermo-oxidation of polylactide”
  – Aleksander Hejna, PhD Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, in collaboration with the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin
• “Proper metrological control of smart electricity meters”
  – Piotr Kuwałek, PhD, Faculty of Control, Robotics and Electrical Engineering
• “Control of mechanical systems based on static and dynamic feedback linearization”
  – Marcin Nowicki, PhD, Faculty of Control, Robotics and Electrical Engineering

The goal of the SONATA 20 competition is to support early-career researchers in conducting innovative research. The call was addressed to scientists who had obtained their doctoral degrees between 2 and 7 years prior to the application year.

The success rate for PUT in the SONATA 20 competition was approximately 26.6%.
