Detailed information on the 2025 edition is available in Call for Proposals No. 8/2025.

The Project implementation period includes the period of mobility (the period of stay in the host center) plus 3 months. The Project must be implemented within the Program period.

The provision of 3 months added to the length of stay at the resort, was introduced to reduce the number of annexes for changes in dates, and, at the same time, to facilitate accounting for stays that often cannot start exactly on the first day of the month.

Under the program, it is possible to invite researchers from abroad, regardless of age, represented field or country of origin, including Polish scientists working permanently abroad (they can constitute up to 10% of the grantees in the intake). Universities and scientific and research institutes may invite to Poland specialists in their priority fields who will significantly develop the institution's research, strengthen didactics, or support the institution in preparing applications for prestigious grants.

Previous Editions

The largest group of Fellows are specialists from India, Germany, Italy and Spain, but last year's edition also featured participants from countries such as Slovenia, North Macedonia, New Zealand, Finland, Ethiopia and Belarus. One of the fellows boasts a Seal of Excellence certificate from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowships program. In addition, the awardees include a Chilean researcher from the University of Iceland, who has launched a study entitled "Non-Lorentzian limits, strings and black holes."
