The programme aims at increasing the internationalisation of Polish universities and scientific institutions. The programme will allow outstanding scientists with at least a doctoral degree to strengthen the scientific potential of Polish higher education and research institutions by joining in their research activities, particularly research projects and didactic activity. The programme provides opportunity to invite researchers from abroad, regardless of their age, discipline or country of origin, including Polish scientists working permanently abroad. Universities, scientific and research institutes and other authorized entities will be able to invite to Poland specialists in their priority fields, who will significantly develop the scientific research conducted by a given institution, strengthen didactic activities, or support the institution in preparing applications for research grants.
The programme provides opportunity to employ foreign researchers for a period from 6 to 24 months.
Funding under the Programme includes remuneration for the Principal Investigator and the Inviting Person.
Special track for scientists awarded in the framework of European initiatives
