In order to bring deserved recognition to the achievements of Polish scientists, in 2012 the Kosciuszko Foundation (KF) has established the "Kosciuszko Foundation Collegium of Eminent Scientists."
The goals of this initiative are:
(i) to honor eminent scientists of Polish origin and ancestry who have achieved recognition in the USA;
(ii) to recognize, highlight, and publicize their achievements and important contributions to the respective fields of science. Significant achievements by Polish scientists will be provided to news media and made accessible through the internet;
(iii) to identify, record, and catalog eminent Polish scientists and scientists of Polish descent residing in the United States. This compendium will be of interest to future historians in Poland and elsewhere, as well as to Polish organizations.
Consideration for Collegium membership is open to natural scientists of distinction working in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, and other cross-disciplines that are essential tools of scientific research, e.g. mathematics, statistics, computer science, and information sciences.
