OPUS is a competition addressed at all researchers, regardless of their research experience and scientific degree, in which you can apply for funding a research project, involving purchase or production of scientific-research equipment. Moreover – as National Science Centre (NCN) informs – formula of the OPUS 19 competition has been extended to include certain elements of HARMONIA competition, which resulted in a possibility to apply for funding of research projects carried out in bilateral or multilateral international cooperation as well as initiatives, the realization of which involves the use of large-scale international research infrastructure by the Polish research teams.
PRELUDIUM is a competition addressed at individuals who are just starting their scientific career and who are not PhD degree holders. Under the competition you can apply for granting finances for realization of a project, the research team of which consists of maximum 3 researchers – including the Principal Investigators and scientific adviser. In the 19t edition of the competition 1672 applications of a total value of almost PLN 246 mln were submitted. Of them the team of experts qualified 243 projects to be financed. They received an amount of more than PLN 36 mln.
The project proposals submitted for financing under National Science Centre competitions may be realized in three research areas: Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; Life Sciences and Physical Sciences and Engineering. Applications from each of the areas are assessed by a team of experts consisting of Polish and international outstanding scientists. Based on their opinion, a decision is taken which of the submitted projects will receive funds for their realization.
Ranking lists of all the projects qualified for funding under OPUS 19 and PRELUDIUM 19 competitions are available on the website of the National Science Centre.
