Scientists may apply for funding projects implemented at Polish units with or without the participation of international partners, as well as projects requiring the use of large international research equipment.
The Lead Agency Procedure within the call makes it possible to apply for funding of projects implemented in cooperation with international research teams from Austria, Czechia, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium-Flanders under the Weave programme.
