We have just launched the first round of the FLAMENCO call for researchers working in Poland who wish to collaborate with Spanish researchers. The call budget is PLN 15.6 million.

88 researchers have joint the winning applicants of MINIATURA 10. NCN grants totalling nearly PLN 3.3 million will enable them to conduct preliminary studies, library and archive searches or research visits.

The next researcher in the series, Maciej Grzybek, studies pathogens transmitted by ticks, mosquitoes, and rodents, and analyses how climate change is driving the spread of tropical diseases northwards.

Join us on 3 September for a webinar on the GRIEG BIS call and the upcoming LANGSPIL call. We will discuss the call rules, applicants’ most frequently asked questions, and the matchmaking tool.

The research team led by Professor Marcin Poręba from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Wrocław Tech) in collaboration with the American researchers from Genentech have found a way to prevent a dying cell from breaking apart. Their research findings have just been published in Nature. The National Science Centre has funded the research conducted by Polish researchers.

Researchers from the Jagiellonian University, in collaboration with partners from Belgium-Flanders, will carry out an international research project on performance monitoring and feedback processing. They were awarded PLN 1.5 million under OPUS LAP for their research.

Natalia Matiaszczyk, a PhD student at the University of Lodz and an OPUS 30 grant recipient, studies how cities engage in memory politics – through monuments, museums and relations with local authorities abroad. We talk to her about how cities tell their own versions of history in our #rozmowaNCN series.

The National Science Centre plans to launch new calls in cooperation with the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI), which will give Polish researchers the opportunity to obtain funding for bilateral projects carried out jointly with partners from Spain.
