Research Fellowships for Scholars from CEE Countries

Research Fellowships for foreign scholars

These fellowships for foreign scholars, mainly from Central and East European countries, willing to conduct research at Polish scientific institutions, are awarded on a basis of an agreement executed in 1993 between the Foundation and the Józef Mianowski Fund. The fellowships, sponsored by the Foundation for Polish Science, are granted on a competitive basis.

The scholarship grants can cover periods of time ranging from one to twelve months. The total grant will be approximately equivalent to an average monthly salary offered to a person holding a corresponding post in Poland plus the costs of accommodation at a level not exceeding that of an academic hostel. In exceptional cases a part of travel costs may also be covered by the Fund.
As the above research is to be conducted in Polish institutions it is required that candidates contact the relevant institutions prior to application.

Applications submitted by persons concerned should be accompanied by documents as follows:

1. Personal questionnaire
2. Curriculum vitae
3. List of publications in the last five years
4. Information about candidate's knowledge of foreign languages
5. Characteristics of intended research project
6. Letter of recommendation from an institution or organization wishing to receive the candidate
7. Letters of recommendation from two persons of renown scientific/academic authority
8. Information about any other sources of financial support during the candidate's stay in Poland.

Scholarships will be granted on terms of competition.

It is desirable that the documents named above are written in Polish. They may also be presented in Russian or English.

The deadline for delivery of applications is October 30.
Decisions as to results are available to those concerned since December 15.
