Hintergrund

The research system in Poland is suffering from shortcomings in resource mobilisation and in knowledge management -demand, production and sharing. Polish research institutions are not sufficiently involved in programmes of the European Research Area. The overall level of internationalization of Polish research shall be involved. Only 2% of the overall budget for
science and research goes towards domestically-driven international cooperation. Outdated equipment, a lack of laboratory supplies and ineffective organization of the research process make a career in science unappealing to young polish researchers.

Ziele

The overall objective of the Polish-Swiss Research Programme is to establish and strengthen long-term cooperation between Polish and Swiss researchers focusing primarily on selected research topics: Information and Communication Technologies, Renewable Energy, Nanotechnologies, Health and Environment.

Zielgruppen

Research units and - institutions in Poland

Aktivitäten

First, a call for joint research project proposals is launched. The best projects will be selected. The selected joint research projects will then be implemented by Polish and Swiss researchers.
