Prof. Szymon Pustelny and Dr Piotr Put among the winners of the PATHFINDER-OPEN 2026 competition

Prof. Szymon Pustelny and Dr. Piotr Put will carry out a project entitled "Magnetic resonance imaging at nanoscale via atomic-like defects in diamond" (MRI-NOVA). This follows the project’s selection as one of 43 successful proposals out of 2,103 submissions to the prestigious PATHFINDER-OPEN 2026 competition, organized by the European Innovation Council. With a budget of approximately 4 M€, the project will be realized by a consortium (University of Ulm, MPI Garching, EPF Lausanne, Jagiellonian University) coordinated from Kraków. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Szymon and Piotr and wish them every success in the implementation of this project!
