Research grants

Each year, the Institute implements new research projects, majority of which are funded by statutory subsidies from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (the so-called „statutory studies”).

In 2019 the Institute conducts 8 projects granted by external funding institutions: 3 grants awarded by the National Science Centre, 4 projects granted by the National Centre for Research and Development and 1 project co-financed by European Union funds and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
