Scholarships for the PhD doctoral students in doctoral schools, research funding and the internships are the main assumptions of the new PRELUDIUM BIS competition organized jointly by the National Science Center (NCN) and the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA).

The goal of cooperation between NCN and NAWA is to launch joint forms of research funding to ensure continuity and coherence of research, as well as to increase mobility, which is an essential element to achieve scientific excellence and establish international cooperation. The result of joint activities of these two institutions will be a complementary offer.

The agreement on behalf of the National Science Center was signed by director Prof. Zbigniew Błocki, and on behalf of NAWA – director Łukasz Wojdyga. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Science and Higher Education Jarosław Gowin.
