Two collaborative projects between Poland and Luxembourg with OPUS 28 + LAP grants for research into Parkinson’s disease pathology and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma immunotherapy. The Polish part of the research is valued at over 5,500,000 zlotys.

We are now taking in proposals under MAESTRO addressed to well-established and outstanding researchers, and under SONATA BIS for research projects aiming to create a new research team. The overall budget of the two calls is 195,000,000 zlotys.

In September 2025, the QuantERA III Consortium will launch a Call for Transnational Research Proposals – Call 2025.

The report “Understanding end-users of social research in Polish public administration” by Dr. hab. Karol Olejniczak and Dr hab. Dominika Wojtowicz was commissioned by the National Science Centre to support researchers seeking to enhance the practical impact of their work.

Researchers from the University in Toruń in cooperation with researchers from Austria will carry out a research project under Weave-UNISONO. They will analyse the processes triggered by the absorption of light energy by photoreceptors.

Contribute to a new survey on the future of education and skills development in the face of green and digital transformation. The future of education is one of the impact areas of the candidate European Partnership on Social Transformations and Resilience.

Why is seeking grant funding a smart move? What are the barriers facing Polish researchers? What steps should be taken to enhance the position of science in Europe? Prof. Justyna Olko and Prof. Michał Tomza, NCN and ERC grant recipients will discuss the role of ambassadors for the ERC.

“Narratives provide us with the tools so sorely lacking in traditional forms of science communication,” says Prof. Wojciech Małecki. The researcher explores how narratives – literary and media – influence our attitudes and behaviour. He talks to Anna Korzekwa-Józefowicz about how a good story can attract attention and increase engagement, but also lead to unexpected outcomes.

Over 708 million zlotys was awarded for basic research projects submitted to OPUS 28 and SONATA 20. Funding will go to 441 researchers.

54 researchers will have their research activities funded by the NCN. The first results for proposals submitted to MINIATURA 9 in February have just been published.
