Communication grants 2024-2025
25.02.2025
During the 2024-2025 year, several REGAL students stood out. REGAL offered recognition scholarships for students who particularly excelled in their research. An amount of $5,000 was divided between the recipients. The influence can be very diverse: having published a scientific article; giving a lecture at a school; a communication at a conference or media participation to popularize science.
Here are the nine REGAL student members who were rewarded and their contribution that made them shine! Congratulations!
