Calendar

Researchers must have at least one paper published or accepted for publication to their name.

The call is intended for both domestic research projects and projects carried out in collaboration with partners from foreign research institutions or involving the use of major international research facilities by Polish teams.

The project must fall within the field of basic research, but the terms of the scheme do not impose any specific subject area. Projects may be planned for one, two, three or four years.

There is no budget limit; it may include funds for the remuneration of the project manager and researchers, including postdoctoral fellows and scholarship holders, the purchase of scientific and research apparatus, equipment and software, the purchase of materials and small equipment, external services, business trips, visits, consultations, bonuses for team members and other costs necessary to achieve the project’s objectives. All costs must be justified by the scope of the research, and budgets are one of the elements assessed by experts.

The call budget is PLN 550 million.
