NCBR patronage

The patronage of the National Center for Research and Development (NCBR) may raise the rank of the organized project. Please read the patronage rules before submitting your application.

We understand patronage as a distinction emphasizing the convergence of the planned project with the profile of activities of the National Center for Research and Development, whose mission is to support Polish scientific entities and enterprises in developing their ability to create and use solutions based on the results of scientific research in order to boost the development of the economy and for the benefit of society.

We understand the honorary patronage as an honorary distinction, indicating the special nature of the planned project, which is also part of the NCBR's activity profile.
