Grants supporting the receipt of grants
NOTE: The Committee works until July 8 inclusive and returns to regular meetings on September 2.
The IDUJ program funds for 2026 have been fully allocated.
As a result, the call for new applications has been suspended.
The rules for project implementation and spending the funds remain unchanged (a short overview is provided below). In the case of projects covering both semesters, the release of the second part of the funding depends on the full use of the funds planned for the first semester. The use of the first part of the funding will be verified at the end of June. If any funds become available at that time - due to not using the first part or not starting the second - additional projects may be funded from among the applications already submitted that have not yet received support, or the call may be reopened.
***
In the current year, the IDUJ budget is divided into two semesters. Funds planned for the first semester should be spent by the end of June (and obligated, with ‘obligo’ created, by the end of May), while funds planned for the second semester should be spent by the end of October (and obligated by the end of September).
Note: Receiving a funding decision does not mean that an obligation (‘obligo’) has been created. An obligation is created for specific expenses at the request of the project manager. Only funds that are supported by appropriate documents - such as an invoice, travel request, contract, accounting note, etc. - may be obligated.
In the case of projects covering both the first and second semesters, their schedule should be divided accordingly. It will not be possible to transfer funds from the first to the second semester.
Due to the limited budget for 2026 and the intention to support as many staff members as possible, there is a limit of PLN 50,000, which is the total amount that each eligible person may apply for across all ID UJ calls this year.

The call is addressed to academic staff of the Faculty of Philosophy employed in the position of academic teachers and aims to support the preparation of applications for research funding from external sources, within international grant schemes (planned to be implemented at the Faculty of Philosophy).

- Substantive support, consultations and training on acquiring funding for a specific grant,

The expected outcome of the funded activities is the submission of a grant proposal as a principal investigator, consortium leader, or work package leader in calls for funding from external international sources (such as Horizon Europe, ERC, ERA-NET, and other international programs).
Applications will be assessed individually by the Committee, taking into account:
The relevance and justification of the planned costs in terms of increasing the likelihood of obtaining a grant,
The significance of the funding scheme,
The applicant’s role in the project,
The amount of funding potentially allocated to the Jagiellonian University,
Progress made in project preparation,
Membership in an international consortium (research network) committed to submitting a joint application,
Interdisciplinary nature of the project,
Involvement of early-career researchers.
Applications should be submitted once the project work has already commenced. The maximum amount of funding per application is PLN 50,000.
Important information:
Additional remuneration for academic teachers employed at the Jagiellonian University is not eligible for funding (remuneration for individuals employed at the Jagiellonian University in other positions is possible).
The applicant has the right to appeal the Committee’s decision within 14 days of receiving it. The appeal should be addressed to the Appeals Committee and must indicate a violation of the provisions of the Regulations (available for download at the bottom of the page). The Appeals Committee will issue a decision within 21 days of receiving the appeal. This decision is final.
