*Applications for the International Research Agendas Programme should be submitted by renowned researchers with significant scientific achievements complemented by considerable managerial experience. The applicant can be a citizen of Poland or any other country, including from outside the European Union.
Where required, e.g. if the application covers interdisciplinary research, the application may be submitted by two researchers, however it should be clearly indicated in the application form which of the researchers is the principal applicant.
The applicant applies to be the first director of the new institution. Therefore, each of the applicants has to be fully committed to implementing the IRAP and therefore employed by the new research institution for at least 50 % of a full time equivalent. The second applicant may apply for the position of group leader or to become research coordination director at the new center.
