Poland tests a mechanism the Research Community has been calling for years

Poland is close to launching a mechanism to transfer funds from cohesion policy to Horizon Europe. The plan involves redirecting 30 million euros from the national FENG programme to Horizon Europe to finance additional, highly-rated projects from Polish applicants in European calls. The mechanism is intended to cover above all ERC grants and the EIC Accelerator instrument. The decision still requires approval from the European Commission. The PolSCA Office and representatives of the national research community have indicated the need to include MSCA individual fellowships in this mechanism.
