  1. The Ulam Programme

The Ulam Programme is introduced by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) in terms of Article 19(1) of the Act of 7 July 2017 on the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (Dz.U. [Journal of Laws] of 11 August 2017, item 1530, as amended). The Ulam Programme aims to increase the internationalization of Polish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and scientific institutions. The programme allows both recognized and promising scientists with at least a doctoral degree, to visit Poland in order to strengthen the scientific potential of Polish entities and to participate in their scientific activities, primarily research projects and didactics. The programme welcomes scientists from around the world, representing any field of science to the Polish institutions of science and higher education. Through this programme, the Polish HEIs, scientific and research institutions will have the opportunity to invite specialists from their priority areas to Poland. These specialists will make a significant contribution to the research conducted by a given institution, strengthen didactics or support the institution in applying for prestigious grants.

The programme will facilitate a gradual increase in the number of foreign scientists involved in scientific research and teaching in Poland and also enable or deepen international contacts with foreign institutions.

Foreign scientists may stay in Poland for 6 to 24 months, and they may be accompanied by members of their closest family and, in the case a participant is a disabled person, by their assistant.

Scientists visiting Polish scientific institutions under the Ulam Programme will receive a monthly stipend for the duration of their stay. Travel costs will also be covered.

The application must be submitted by an individual scientist who holds a doctoral degree awarded in any country other than Poland. Applicants should not be a Polish citizen and has not lived, worked and/or studied in Poland since at least 2017. The condition of not being a Polish citizen does not apply to persons who are Polish citizens and whose full cycle of doctoral studies has been financed by the Polish government, as these persons are entitled to participate in the programme.

All documents related to the Ulam Programme can be downloaded from the official website.
