This is done in order to emphasize how their studies are important for improving the life quality of people and how they contribute to economic growth. Eventually, they improve their chances for popularizing their studies and achieving stimulating impacts of their efforts onto specific areas of human life, and to strengthen the image of Polish science worldwide.
