A total of 57 projects were submitted in the first HOMING competition and 18 in the POWROTY/REINTEGRATION programme. The winning projects will be carried out at research centers in Warsaw, Krakow, Torun, Wroclaw and Poznan in collaboration with 24 foreign academic institutions. The funds obtained from FNP will support at least 25 jobs for scholars engaged in the projects and 35 scholarships for young scholars (graduate and doctoral students) involved in the research. The financing is granted for two years. Laureates were selected in a three-stage evaluation process carried out by foreign reviewers and experts of the scientific-economic and interdisciplinary panel.

The second competition under both programmes will start on 12 August this year. Subsequent competitions will be organized until the end of 2019, on average twice a year.
