The OPUS competition is organised for scientists at various career stages. In this edition, researchers working in Polish units could apply for funding not only for domestic research projects, but also for international projects within the Lead Agency Procedure (LAP) path. With the LAP, it was possible to plan a project in cooperation with teams from Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, or Belgium, Flanders.

For the 21 selected OPUS LAP projects, the National Science Centre acted as the leading agency, i.e. carried out the full substantive evaluation procedure, and the partner agencies accepted the results. Tasks performed by Polish teams will be financed from the National Science Centre resources, whereas  the costs sustained by foreign teams will be covered by the relevant agencies from Germany, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and Austria.
