Allowances for submitting international projects
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.

Allowances will be awarded to a team after submitting and evaluating the project if it receives a high rating from the evaluation unit - e.g. from the European Commission, the European Research Council, other international grants; also, from the National Science Centre in the LAP procedure.
PI determines the distribution of allowances among team members.
There are following limits (apply to entire teams):
1 Coordinator of a project submitted for implementation as part of an international or national consortium PLN 30,000.00
2 Coordinator of a package or packages in a project submitted for implementation as part of an international or national consortium (WP leader) PLN 15,000.00
3 Single applicant PLN 20,000.00
4 Applicants for the Maria Skłodowska-Curie COFUND project PLN 20,000.00
5 Applicants for being a host institution for a researcher implementing an ERC (PI) grant PLN 40,000.00
In the current edition of ID UJ calls, the allowance limit per person is PLN 9,000 gross.
Allowances cannot be paid for work performed during employment in projects financed from external funds or during unpaid leave.
The grants should be affiliated with the UJ.
NOTE: due to the fact that on September 26, 2022 MEIN resumed the Grants for Grants program, ID UJ now funds participation in programs which are not included in the MEIN call "Grants for grants - quality promotion IV (Horizon Europe)".
