Polish research funding and defense grants

Entities: Minister of the Interior and Administration (MSWiA) · Łukasiewicz – Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics · University of Agricultural Sciences in Kraków · National Science Centre (Poland) · Łukasiewicz – Instytut Lotnictwa

Overview

In late June 2026 the Polish Ministry of Science awarded scholarships to two researchers, Julita Krassowska and Łukasz Olejnik, signaling continued individual support for scientific work. By the end of July, the government extended its backing to larger research entities: the Łukasiewicz Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics secured funding under the OPUS 30 and SONATA 21 programmes for projects on biodegradable marine‑algae packaging, micromagnetic lab‑on‑a‑chip diagnostics, and photonic laser‑amplifier devices. At the same time, the Łukasiewicz Institute of Aviation received an expanded defence concession, allowing broader production and trade of explosives, ammunition, and related equipment. Together, the snapshots illustrate a pattern of Polish authorities providing both personal scholarships and substantial institutional grants, alongside an expanded role for defence‑related research.
