In 2019, The Foundation for Polish Science has announced the results of the 12th edition of the International Research Agendas Programme competition, which the FNP (FPS) launched in late 2015. This programme was aimed at enabling the establishment of new research units in Poland (organisational and legal structures), headed by outstanding scientists from all over the world, in which teams composed of the best foreign and Polish scientists, representing various scientific specialisations, will carry out research and development work at the highest international level.

Thanks to the support of the Foundation for Polish Science, granted through the International Research Agendas Programme competition with funds from the Smart Growth Operational Programme, it was possible to establish 14 facilities of this kind in Poland. The profile of their activities and scientific achievements is available on the IRAP website.
