Research funding organisation
My organisation
The NCN is a government agency, supervised by the Ministry of Education and Science, set up in 2011 to support basic research in Poland. Basic research is defined as empirical or theoretical endeavours undertaken to gain new knowledge of the foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any direct commercial use. The NCN funds projects in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences and Engineering. The NCN launches funding schemes dedicated to researchers at different stages of their career. Between 2011 and 2022, the NCN has slated over 14 billion PLN to 28,000 Polish researchers. In 2022, 54% of that amount was dedicated to early-stage researchers, which is 3% more than in 2021, and 11% more than in 2016 when the value was first measured. Our Principles Identifying and funding best research projects Openness to global science, internationalisation Inclusiveness of offers and refraining from imposing research topics Appreciating younger researchers Impartiality, transparent procedures, strict conflicts of interest procedures Independence and political impartiality Serving the scientific community
