You didn’t manage to apply in the first POLONEZ BIS call? Don’t worry, the POLONEZ BIS 2 call is scheduled to open on 15 March 2022..

POLONEZ BIS is not an ordinary grant but a comprehensive programme that integrates research, short-term secondments in non-academic institutions and soft skill training. In three calls, the National Science Centre plans to recruit 120 experienced foreign researchers who will move to Poland for 24 months in order to carry out their basic research projects.

POLONEZ BIS is addressed to PhD holders or researchers with at least 4 years of full-time research experience, who have lived or worked outside of Poland for at least 2 out of 3 years before the call announcement. They will be free to choose the topics and disciplines of the research proposals which they will submit jointly with the Polish host institutions (their future employers).

Scientists and institutions searching for relevant research partners are welcome to use a dedicated POLONEZ BIS Partner Search Tool.

The second POLONEZ BIS call opens on 15 March 2022 and closes on 15 June 2022.
