The Ulam Programme aims to increase the internationalization of Polish institutions of science and higher education. The Programme will allow both recognized and promising scientists who hold at least a doctoral degree, to visit Poland to strengthen the scientific potential of Polish entities and to participate in their scientific activities, primarily research projects and didactics.  The Programme will allow to invite scientists regardless of their age, from all around the world and representing all fields of science, including Polish scientists working permanently abroad (they may constitute a maximum of 10% of Fellows in the call). HEIs, scientific and research institutes will have the opportunity to invite specialists from their priority areas to Poland – they will make a significant contribution to the research conducted by a given institution, strengthen didactics, or support the institution in applying for prestigious grants.

Activities to be carried out during the Scholarship may include:  

• conducting research and/or development work
• post-doctoral training
• obtaining materials for scientific work or publication

In addition to the above activities, the visit may also include conducting didactic classes at the Host institution.

The visits under the Project can last from 6 to 24 months. The Programme provides financing of PLN 11,500 a month, along with a one-off mobility allowance.

The application under the Program shall be submitted also by a scientist with at least a doctoral degree or an equivalent degree obtained abroad, who, together with the institution of the Polish higher education and science system, has obtained the Seal of Excellence certificate under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (Horizon Europe).
