NAWA opened a call for proposals for the next programme addressed to teaching, research and scientific institutions - International Academic Partnerships. As part of the project, entities will be able to obtain funding for international institutional cooperation initiatives in the field of research, implementation activities or education. What is important, is that at least 3 foreign universities or scientific units must be a partner in the project submitted by the applicants which has the task of realistically influencing the internationalization of Polish scientific and didactic centres. An invitation to implement the initiative may also be granted to entities from outside of the higher education and research sector - for the institutions from the social environment of the university, the role of supporting partners in the project is envisaged.
The objective of the Programme is to develop durable solutions in the area of scientific, implementation and teaching cooperation carried out by the involved parties. The results of the project are to be the basis for a development of a long-lasting cooperation with units that the Partnership is being built with, and therefore the projects must be part of the long-term policy of the applicants’ development.
