We have launched a call for research components addressed to scientists who decide to return to Poland under the Polish Returns NAWA 2023 programme.
Polish Returns NAWA (Polskie Powroty NAWA) is a programme of the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA). The aim of the programme is to allow the outstanding Polish scientists working abroad to return to Poland and conduct their research at Polish universities and research institutes. Junior and experienced scientists can request funding of their research and project teams established in Poland. More on the programme.
By collaborating with the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange, the National Science Centre provides funding for research components carried out by scientists who return to Poland under the Polish Returns NAWA programme.
The NCN call is open to scientists whose projects have been recommended for funding under the Polish Returns NAWA 2023 programme and include research components recommended by the NAWA Evaluation Team. Among the eleven winners of the Polish Returns NAWA 2023 call, there were nine such projects.
Research components can be carried out over the first eighteen months of the project performance. The maximum funding of one component is PLN 200,000.
The NCN Council has allocated PLN 2 million for research components to be completed under the Polish Returns NAWA 2023 programme.
Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OSF submission system together with the final version of the proposal funded under the Polish Returns NAWA 2023 programme in PDF format. Proposals submitted to the NCN must include the same information as proposals submitted to NAWA and must comprise the budget recommendations of the Evaluation Team (if any).
Funding proposals for research components are only subject to NCN’s eligibility check following their merit-based evaluation performed by the NAWA.
