We are pleased to inform you that Prof. Jerzy Sperka (Faculty of Humanities) has been appointed as an external expert for the evaluation of applications submitted to the National Programme for the Development of Humanities.
The subject matter of the National Programme for the Development of Humanities is based on a call for proposals for funding for:
- multi-year projects involving the editing of sources, documents, editorial works, compendiums of knowledge used for research on the Polish cultural heritage, as well as monographs and studies on issues of significant meaning for the Polish national identity (modules ‘National Heritage’ and ‘Fundaments’);
- multi-year projects of an undisputed research aspect revolving around the editing in the Polish language of the most significant works of culture, especially those related to world humanities in order to introduce them into the Polish cultural circulation (module ‘Universals 2.2’);
- translations into English, French, German, Italian, Spanish or Russian, and publications of the most renowned monographs of the Polish humanities in order to introduce them into the international circulation of scientific books (module ‘Universals 2.1’).
The goal of the National Programme for the Development of Humanities is to create opportunities for funding projects of vital importance to the scientific and educational policy of the country, meeting the following conditions:
- are original projects of undisputable scientific advantages;
- have primary importance for conducting future scientific research or synthesise the current state of research;
- are characterised by their usefulness for various scientific disciplines within the field of humanities or artistic disciplines, and come in handy in academic teaching;
- include content related to humanities or apply methods specific to the field of humanities;
require forming or maintaining expert research teams (does not concern the module ‘Universals 2.1’).
