MINIATURA is a competition intended for scientists who have obtained a PhD degree within the last 12 years and do not yet have experience in managing a research project financed by the National Science Centre or from other sources independently. Activities financed as part of the MINIATURA competition enable researchers at the beginning of their scientific career to gain their first experiences in the grant system. The implementation of MINIATURA is the starting point for creating the assumptions of a full-scale research project, the financing of which can then be applied for in NCN competitions or other national or international competitions.
