About us

POLONEZ BIS is a project coordinated by the Polish National Science Centre and cofounded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.

The controller of the data is the National Science Centre (NCN) with its registered office in Kraków at ul. Twardowskiego 16, 30-312 Kraków.

The protection of your personal data is an important matter for the NCN and the POLONEZ BIS Coordination Team. Therefore, we have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed both by us and by external service providers.

Whenever we share personal information with third parties, they are required to use appropriate safeguards to protect personal information, and they can only access the personal information that is necessary for performing their specific tasks.

We may also have to share data with governmental authorities and regulators, as required under the applicable law.
