More than PLN 7 million for the maintenance and development of research potential will be awarded to scientific institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and research institutes in connection with the running of doctoral schools. Combined support will be provided to 16 entities, reports the Ministry of Education and Science.

Increases in the amount of subsidies for maintenance and development of research potential were granted to 14 scientific institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and 2 research institutes in connection with running doctoral schools independently or jointly with another entity – as a leading entity.
