    Project participants had a chance to gain knowledge in the field of chemistry, biology and pharmacy in MUB laboratories, acquire teamwork competences in the context of the work environment, stimulate their creativity, develop critical thinking, learning and problem solving skills and acquire ICT competences by using the software used by pharmacists .

As the project manager, dr hab. Michał Tomczyk - head of the Department of Pharmacognosy of the Medical University of Bialystok said- the formula of the classes worked perfectly. Young people verified their ideas about chemistry and drugs in real working conditions with modern research equipment. MUB Vice-Rector for Education, prof.

    As part of the project, three editions of practical classes and experiments were carried out in the period from June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2023.
