On Wednesday, 25 May 2023, 18 Chairs of international panels evaluating proposals under NCN calls requested that the Minister of Education and Science urgently increase funding for the National Science Centre. The signatories of the letter emphasised that “if the NCN budget is not increased regardless of high inflation and growing employment cost, in a long perspective Polish researchers will be deprived of any chance to compete on the international arena”.

Distribution of research funding was earlier discussed by the Council for Higher Education, Science and Innovation constituted by the President that concluded that the NCN budget must be absolutely increased.
