The European Investment Bank (EIB) decided, on 24 July, to provide two loans amounting to €970 million for research and development (R&D) activities in Polish research institutes, universities and business enterprises. The first EIB loan of €490 million will finance R&D project grants, which will be awarded by the National Science Centre and the National Centre for Research and Development through open calls to PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and senior scientists. These projects will concern either basic or applied research and will be implemented at public research institutes, universities and business enterprises across Poland. The EIB is lending a further €480 million for the statutory research tasks performed by all categories of scientific and academic staff employed by Polish public universities, colleges and research institutes in the majority of scientific disciplines (except medical research performed at university hospitals and defence-related research).
