Polish colleges may apply for the awards of the Minister of Science and Higher Education for academic teachers. They can be acquired by Polish scientists, including those working abroad and foreigners who, during their stay in Poland, obtained a unique achievement in scientific or didactic work.

The Ministry awards scientific achievements that became the basis for the PhD degrees last year. Individual and team prizes for distinguishing results in didactic work can be obtained by the authors of outstanding academic textbooks, innovative research and modern teaching methods and didactic materials.
