More NCN grants for our researchers
322 scientists whose projects were on waiting lists in the OPUS 25, PRELUDIUM 22, MAESTRO 15 and SONATA BIS 13 calls received funding decisions on June 7, 2024. Thus, the group of winners of these competitions increased from 452 to 774 researchers.
Financing additional research projects was possible thanks to the increase in the budget of the National Science Centre by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education by PLN 200 million in 2024.
We are pleased to announce that from the additional pool of funds, grants will also go to 11 of our researchers.
