- I am happy that my diploma thesis was recognised and got the first place in a Europe-wide competition. I must admit that there was big competition and other theses presented really interesting issues. Now when I start my education in a doctoral school, I hope to develop the methodology presented in my Master’s thesis and make it useful in the context of Smart City solutions - says Paweł Czernic, MSc.
