MONOGRAPHS Programme
This is a regular competition for Polish authors of previously unpublished monographs in the areas of the humanities and the social sciences.
The works selected by the Editorial Board are published in the FNP Monographs series, which consists of nearly 90 titles to date. Currently included in the programme are works by foreign authors which are concerned with Polish issues and have been written in the Polish language.

TRANSLATIONS Programme
Under this scheme, funds are made available to cover the cost of translating into a foreign language of studies by Polish scholars specialising in the humanities, to be issued by a renown publishing house abroad.

PUBLICATIONS Programme
Due to FNP assistance under this programme, various multi-volume works edited by research institutes documenting Poland's historical, cultural and technological heritage are published. The Foundation continues to cover the cost of editing and printing of a number of publications including Polski Słownik Biograficzny (The Polish Biographical Dictionary) and Słownik polszczyzny XVI wieku (A Dictionary of 16th Century Polish). In 2005, the scope of this programme was extended: from this year onwards, it will include a series of monographic studies presenting the results of archaeological research projects concerning the origins of the Polish state, to be published under a common heading Origines Polonorum.

FNP Conferences: Foundation's Debates on Science
First held in 1996, these conferences organised by FNP take place annually, bringing together several dozen distinguished scholars, who meet to discuss various issues of great significance to the scientific community in Poland. So far, the debates concerned, among other topics, criticism in science, the peculiar character of relations between the older and the younger generations of scientists, and various ethical issues facing science and research workers. Conference materials are published in brochures (available only in Polish).

Collaboration with Scientific Associations
For several years now, the Foundation has been a supporting member of a number of leading scientific associations of a corporate nature in Poland, like the Warsaw Scientific Society, the Toruń Scientific Society, the Society of the Friends of Science in Poznań, and the Society for the Promotion and Support of Science. In addiction, FNP is a supporting member of the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America (PIASA), operating abroad.
