The Bekker Programme

The Bekker Programme supports international mobility of PhD students, scientists and academic teachers from Polish scientific units by enabling them to conduct research in foreign host institutions. It funds research fellowships of 3 to 24 months and can serve as postdoctoral fellowships for young scientists or part of PhD education. The Programme is open to all fields and artistic disciplines and places no restrictions on host country location. It provides funding to cover living expenses related to the stay in the foreign host centre and a mobility allowance.

Living expenses for the stay in the foreign host centre; mobility allowance; possible increased amount for spouse/underage children or assistant with disability.

Open to PhD students, scientists and academic teachers representing all fields and artistic disciplines, employed at Polish scientific units; young scientists may apply for postdoctoral fellowships.

Applicants apply through NAWA's calls for applications (see NAWA call for applications pages and NAWA ICT system for submission).
