It is mainly addressed to young scientists, researchers who return to conducting scientific research after a long break, as well as scientists who have not yet supervised scientific projects. The call aims to promote research activity and provide an opportunity to gain experience in project implementation. In previous editions of the \u2018Freedom of Research\u2019 call for proposals, applications were submitted by scientists representing nearly all scientific disciplines at the University of Silesia. We invite representatives of all faculties at our University to send in applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purpose of the call for proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The goal of this year\u2019s edition of \u2018Freedom of Research\u2019 organised under the Research Excellence Initiative, is to improve the conditions of scientific development of employees, build high-quality scientific output, disseminate and commercialise knowledge, and in consequence to increase the impact of scientific activity of the University on the development of global science. The call for proposals will contribute to establishing or intensifying international cooperation, particularly with the partners of the Transform4Europe Alliance (T4EU).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Co-financing scope from Research Excellence Initiative funds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The overall amount of money intended for funding research activities in the fourth edition of the call is up to PLN 1 million. Scientists may obtain funding for activities such as research and consultation trips, search queries, field trips, purchase of materials and reagents required to conduct their own research, and preparation of musical and artistic works. In addition, the funding covers the costs of translation and proofreading of texts to be published in high-ranking journals.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists can apply for a research action fund of up to PLN 10,000, and in the case of establishing international cooperation, the fund can amount up to PLN 20,000. The realisation period of research activities is a maximum of 12 months. It will be possible to spend the funds awarded under the competition until 31 December 2024, subject to the spending rules included in the regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>[vc_text_separator title=&#8221;CONCERNING&#8221;

In addition, the call for proposals contributes to the establishment and strengthening of international cooperation, in particular with Transform4Europe (T4EU) alliance partners. A total amount of up to PLN 1,000,000 has been allocated to fund research activities in the 3rd edition of the call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers can obtain funding for such activities as research and consulting trips, queries, field research, purchase of materials and reagents necessary for their own research, and development of musical and artistic works. Funding also covers the costs of translations and proofreading of texts for publication in high-scoring journals. Researchers can apply for funding of up to PLN 10,000 for research activities, and in the case of international cooperation, assistance may extend to PLN 20,000. The implementation period of research activities is 12 months maximum. Funds awarded under the competition will be available for spending until 30 November 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first two editions of &#8216;Freedom of Research&#8217;, researchers representing all scientific disciplines at the University of Silesia submitted their applications. 160 researchers took part in the first call for proposals and 125 received funding for their research activities for a total amount of more than PLN 1 million, while the second edition attracted 210 researchers, of whom 118 became laureates, receiving support in a total amount of more than PLN 1,230,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applications for funding may also be submitted by laureates of one of the previous editions of the competition, who have already completed their projects and sent in reports confirming the achievement of publication or artistic results.

The call for proposals contributes to establishing or intensifying international cooperation, particularly with the partners of the Transform4Europe Alliance. A total sum of PLN 1,200,000 is devoted to funding research activities within the call for proposals.<\/p>\n<p>The support covers such activities as: research and consultative trips, queries, field research, and development of music and artistic works. Additionally, it covers the purchase of materials and agents necessary to carry out one\u2019s own research as well as costs of translation and proofreading of texts that are to be published in highly scored journals. Scientists applied for a research action fund of up to PLN 10,000, and in the case of establishing international cooperation, the fund could amount up to PLN 20,000. The realisation period of research activities is a maximum of 12 months. The call for proposals concluded on 10 January 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Winners of the 1st edition who have already sent a report confirming the achievement of the declared results along with their accounted projects could apply as well.<\/p>\n<p>We remind you that scientists representing all scientific disciplines realised at the University of Silesia applied for the 1st edition of the Freedom of Research.
