1. The budget of the Polish part of the project in the joint proposal should be calculated according to the following exchange rates:
- in joint proposals, for which NCN proposals are processed in and submitted via the OSF submission system by 31 December 2023: 1 EUR = 4.7244 PLN;
- in joint proposals, for which NCN proposals are processed in and submitted via the OSF submission system from 1 January 2024: 1 EUR = 4.5940 PLN;
2. NCN proposals processed in the OSF submission system in 2023, with the exchange rate of 1 EUR = 4.7244 PLN, must be completed in and submitted via the OSF submission system by 31 December 2023 at 23:59:59. Otherwise, the proposal can no longer be edited, in which case the Polish research team must prepare a new proposal, with the exchange rate 1 EUR = 4.5940 PLN, and complete it in the OSF submission system. If a joint proposal has already been submitted to the lead agency, with the budget of the Polish part of the project calculated according to another exchange rate, the NCN proposal will be inconsistent with the joint proposal and as a consequence the proposal may be rejected on the grounds that it does not meet the eligibility criteria.
3. As of 1 January 2024, the updated Regulations on awarding funding for research tasks funded by the National Science Centre under international calls carried out as multilateral cooperation pursuant to the Lead Agency Procedure shall apply.
