PROM Programme – International scholarship exchange of PhD candidates and academic staff The goal of the program is to improve the competences and qualifications of Phd students and academic staff from Poland and abroad, including people from outside the EU, through international scholarship exchanges.
The National Agency for Academic Exchange supports projects of universities and scientific institutions conducting education, offering scholarships to finance costs related to the participation of Phd students and academic staff in short forms of education (lasting from 5 to 30 days). These projects must include the mobility of the personel both in the field of visits of representatives of Polish universities and scientific institution abroad as well as arrivals of scholarship holders to Poland.

Polish Returns Programme
The Polish Return Program allows Polish scientists to return to their country and take up employment in Polish higher education institutions, scientific units or research institutes. The Programme will create optimal conditions for returning scientists to conduct world-class scientific research or developmental work in Poland. The funds obtained under the Polish Returns Programme are to ensure salaries for Returning Scientists and allow them to create a Project Group (research team).
The Programme is addressed to Polish scientists working in foreign scientific institutions who wish to make use of the knowledge and experience acquired abroad after returning to Poland, by developing their own research teams or getting involved in research carried out by existing research teams.
Projects under the Program may be implemented for a period of not less than 36 months and not more than 48 months.
