NCBR International Programmes (ERA-NET / JTCs)

NCBR International Programmes cover Poland's participation in roughly 25 European and bilateral Joint Transnational Calls each year. NCBR funds the Polish partner share only, so the route matters most to applicants already embedded in a cross-border consortium rather than to teams looking for a standalone domestic award. The 2026 calendar includes Eurostars-3 calls for innovative SMEs, EUREKA 2/2026, a set of ERA-NET and partnership calls such as WATER4ALL, CETP, M-ERA.NET 4, TRANSCAN-4, ERDERA, ERA4Health, RAMP, DUT, SBEP, FOREST, THCS, and EIG CONCERT-Japan, plus Chips Joint Undertaking and bilateral calls such as INNOGLOBO and POLNORIS. Budgets in the schedule span from smaller Polish partner shares in the Eurostars and ERA-NET calls to larger bilateral and partnership allocations, with consortia required throughout. Applicants fit this route when the project is already international by design and the Polish participant needs a national co-funding channel. The practical advantage is breadth: NCBR can back universities, research organisations, companies, and consortia across multiple partnership families, but success depends on matching the domestic application to the international call's own rules and timetable.
