We are launching two calls: OPUS 31, for research projects led by researchers at any career stage, and PRELUDIUM 25, for researchers who do not yet hold a PhD. Together, the two calls will fund projects worth a total of PLN 600 million. Proposals will be accepted until mid-June.

Are you a researcher looking for funding? Do you help administer research projects and need answers? Or are you still weighing up your options for a career in research? Join us in Katowice this May for the National Science Centre Days. Registration for the workshops is now open.
