Dear Readers,
Another year of NCBR’s functioning is behind us. It is common for us to say that we are facing unusual breakthrough times, but such words are often a figure of speech rather than a reality. However, behind us is a year that presented us all with some unexpected and unforeseeable challenges. When I was preparing the foreword to NCBR’s previous annual report, we had already been struggling with the outbreak of the pandemic. However, no one back then could accurately predict the forthcoming events. COVID-19 definitely changed our lives. On the one hand, we had to learn to function in a world in which human life and health were put at risk. On the other hand, our economy had to adapt to the circumstances, challenges and threats brought by the pandemic.
Already in the spring last year, NCBR organised its work in such a way that its activities could be successfully continued. Applicants and customers got perfectly accustomed to the panels, contacts and exchange of information mainly taking place in a remote manner. The new situation did not lower the applicants’ interest in the services NCBR offers. These extraordinary circumstances also made us support various attempts at controlling the pandemics. We launched special competitions as well as offered our support for dedicated COVID-19 hospitals. What was extremely important in those efforts was our prompt reaction and concrete response to the challenges we all had been forced to face.

Dear Readers,
This report provides a summary of what NCBR was dealing with in the year behind us that was rather unusual. This remark was also made by Director Wojciech Kamieniecki in his foreword. This document makes us reflect and take a broader look at NCBR’s operations as a key institution for building an innovation ecosystem in Poland.
The Centre Council, which I have the honour to lead, does not manage NCBR’s ongoing activities, neither does it act as its supervisory board. Our tasks focus on providing advice and issuing opinions on research tasks aimed at the implementation of strategic research and development programmes. This particular position of the Council gives us an insight into the Centre's operation and thus a look at what is happening in the field of innovation development in our country.
