The Wübben Foundation Student Grant enables students to focus entirely on their studies during their final year of either their bachelor’s or master’s degree – they will receive 1,000 EUR monthly for a year. “We nominated Maria because she has been a consistently outstanding student – and also shows a strong interest in research topics related to systems neurology,” says Thomas Misgeld, Spokesperson of SyNergy and Director of the Institute of Neuronal Cell Biology. “We are grateful for the support that the Wübben Foundation provides to talented students.” Maria herself is also thankful for the support: “The Student Grant allows me to dedicate my full energy to my research projects this year and invest in learning opportunities that will enrich my path as a future neuroscientist. Being selected is an encouraging reminder to stay curious, think unconventionally, and keep pushing the boundaries of science,” she says.
