Since 2001, the Polityka Weekly Foundation has been sponsoring a scholarship program addressed to young scientists  – also known as Polityka Science Awards as of 2011. Promoted in Polityka weekly, the program aims to present a valuable career model that goes against the pop-cultural trends, with an emphasis on intellect and industriousness. Dr. Irena Eris participates in the work of the Social Jury, which awards these prestigious distinctions, and the Dr Irena Eris brand is a sponsor of prizes for the young scientists.
