The National Science Centre (NCN) is launching the SONATINA 9 call for research projects. The objective of the call is to support the career development of early-stage researchers by creating opportunities for full-time employment and research in Poland and enabling them to gain knowledge and experience during fellowships in first-rate foreign research institutions.

The call is addressed at individuals who have been granted their PhD degree in the proposal submission year or within 3 years prior to the proposal submission year (1 January 2022 - 31 December 2024) or will be granted their PhD by 30 June 2025. The 3-year period may be extended by the career breaks laid down in the Resolution.

Employment under a full-time employment contract must be planned for the principal investigator in the host institution for the project other than the one from which the principal investigator has earned a PhD degree. The principal investigator must complete a foreign fellowship of 3 to 6 months in a foreign research institution.

The Council of the National Science Centre has allocated PLN 40,000,000 for research projects to be carried out under SONATINA 9.

More information to be found on the National Science Center website.

We encourage you to apply, providing support from the staff of the Science Department.
