The National Science Centre is currently conducting the POLS call for research projects to be carried out by incoming researchers in Polish research institutions or enterprises. Proposals may be submitted by researchers holding at least a PhD degree who have not resided, worked or studied in Poland or managed a research project carried out in Poland for 2 years prior to the call deadline. The objective of the call is to support researcher mobility and the arrival of renowned and promising scientists will serve to boost the research potential of Polish research entities.
The POLS call is funded from the Norway Grants and the budget of the call equals over €7 million. The requested amount of funding for the entire duration of the project must fall between €100,000 and €200,000. Grants may be designated to fund the salary for the research team, depreciation or purchase of research equipment, materials and services, costs of business trips and conferences as well as other project-related costs. The amount of indirect costs is 25% of the funds applied for to complete the project, including the value of research equipment purchased but excluding the sub-contracting costs. The detailed information on the call can be found at: https://ncn.gov.pl/ogloszenia/konkursy/pols?language=en.
The call is open to researchers from all research domains. Proposals must be submitted electronically to the OSF system (https://osf.opi.org.pl/app/) by 16 June 2020, 4 p.m.
The Centre is organising an info chat during which we will be answering questions concerning the POLS call. The chat will take place on 28 May 2020 at 12.00 (CEST) and will last for one hour. The link to the chat will be available in advance through the NCN web site at: https://www.ncn.gov.pl/eeanorwaygrants/news?language=en.
Please deliver this message to all those researchers who may be interested in it.
Yours sincerely,
