Internationalisation of Polish science is one of NCN’s priorities. Our agency fosters various types of international collaboration to effectively support research projects carried out by Polish research teams in tandem with foreign partners. Together with the German Max Planck Society, the National Science Centre operates the DIOSCURI programme aimed to create Centres of Scientific Excellence in Poland. Furthermore, the NCN coordinates the CHANSE and QuantERA programmes carried out in collaboration with other European research funding agencies and operates the “Research” programme for basic research funded by the EEA and Norway Grants. The NCN is also an active member of Science Europe and Global Research Council that impact public science policies.
Dr Marcin Liana has been the Deputy Director of the National Science Centre since 2018. Other Team members include Dr Marta Łazarowicz-Kowalik, Deputy President of the Board of the Foundation for Polish Science and Dr Zofia Sawicka, Deputy Director of the Polish National Academy for Academic Exchange (NAWA). The term of office of the Team members will start on 10 April and will last till the end of December 2026.
