The results of OPUS 28+LAP/Weave are now available. OPUS 28+LAP/Weave is a call for research projects carried out in bilateral collaboration with researchers from Austria, Belgium-Flanders, Czechia and Switzerland, and in trilateral collaboration between researchers from Poland, Belgium and Austria. A total funding of over 58 million zlotys was awarded to 31 research projects.
2,039 proposals were submitted to the NCN under OPUS 28+LAP/Weave, for a total of over 3.2 billion zlotys, including 1,823 domestic proposals for nearly 3 billion zlotys and 216 proposals for over 320 million zlotys following the Lead Agency formula. The results of NCN (domestic) projects funded under OPUS 28 were published at the end of May, and the first ranking list for proposals following the Lead Agency formula, including projects performed by research teams from Poland and Luxemburg, was published in June. The recent recommendations include funding proposals for projects performed in collaboration with research teams from Austria, Belgium-Flanders, Czechia and Switzerland.
Collaboration with Czechia, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland
Under the recent edition of the OPUS LAP call, 17 projects will be performed by the Polish research team in collaboration with Czech researchers, including five projects in Life Sciences, six in Physical Sciences and Engineering and six in Humanities, Social Sciences and Art Sciences. Three awarded projects will involve collaboration of teams from Poland and Austria, including two in Humanities, Social Sciences and Art Science and one in Physical Sciences and Engineering. Two research projects (one in Humanities, Social Sciences and Art Sciences and one in Physical Sciences and Engineering) will be carried out by Polish researchers in collaboration with research teams from Belgium-Flanders, and seven projects in collaboration with researchers from Switzerland (one in Humanities, Social Sciences and Art Sciences, three in Life Sciences and three in Physical Sciences and Engineering).
Principal investigators in Polish teams performing recommended projects on the ranking list published today, are researchers affiliated with research institutes from nine cities in Poland. Most of them are based in Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdańsk and Łódź, although ranking lists include research teams from Poznań, Krakow, Toruń, Katowice and Szczecin.

Service of Decisions
Decisions by the NCN Director are delivered to the applicants and no longer communicated to the principal investigator if the applicant is defined in Article 27 (1)-(7) and Article 27 (() of the NCN Act. If individuals apply, funding decisions are not communicated to the participating entity. More on service of decisions.
OPUS is an open call for proposals addressed to all researchers, regardless of their age or experience, under which they can request funding of their projects carried out in Polish research institutions with or without foreign participation and with the use of large-scale international research infrastructure. OPUS calls are launched twice a year, whereas the autumn edition follows the Lead Agency formula, which means that funding may be requested for projects carried out in international collaboration with research teams from Austria, Czechia, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Belgium-Flanders under the Weave programme.
