We are announcing the SONATINA 10 call. It is designed for researchers at an early stage of their careers and offers an opportunity to gain the experience and skills needed for further academic development.

Research teams from Poland and Belgium-Flanders will receive nearly PLN 3.3 million for their research projects investigating holography, cyclostationary signals and mystery of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

713 OPUS and PRELUDIUM grants from the National Science Centre will be received by researchers to carry out basic research at Polish research institutions. The total budget of the projects recommended for funding amounts to nearly PLN 700 million.

Under international SHENG 4 call for Polish and Chinese research projects, funding will be awarded to 21 projects with a value of over PLN 38 million.

Thanks to basic research we can understand complex processes, anticipate threats, and develop the technologies needed to ensure military, social and environmental security. Today, we will discuss the topics outlined above with our guests: Justyna Chodkowska-Miszczuk and Michał Parniak.

Maciej Stolarski, Łucja Kowalewska and Bartosz Szyszko will deliver open lectures organised by the Copernicus Centre on 26 November, 10 December and 17 December 2025. Lectures will be streamed online on the YouTube channel of the Copernicus Centre.

How to store research data? Who can have access to research data? What are the best research data management practices? Researchers ask these, and many more, questions every day. Answers are provided during a free online MOOC course developed by the NCN Open Science Team, which is now available on the Navoica platform.

Prof. Krzysztof Jóźwiak, Director of the National Science Centre, has been elected to the Science Europe 2025–2027 Governing Board, which plays a key role in shaping strategic direction of Science Europe, an organisation connecting major European research funding agencies and research institutions.
