We accept applications for two categories of Poland for the world - for people from the country whose achievements shift the boundaries of knowledge and open new research perspectives and the World for Poland for people from abroad, whose actions bring benefits to Poland and the Polish nation.
Award Applications
We accept applications from candidates for the Award until 1 June 2019. We are looking primarily for unconventional people with above-average abilities, using them in the service of others.
