Changes to NCBR, research institutes, and Łukasiewicz Network

This law introduces changes to the management of the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), research institutes, and the Łukasiewicz Research Network. For citizens, this means new rules for appointing directors and council members, as well as new requirements for management staff, including a ban on having worked for former state security agencies. The changes aim to increase transparency and efficiency in spending public money on research and development.
Key points
Directors and deputy directors of research institutes must meet new requirements, including not having been convicted of an intentional crime or having worked for former state security agencies.
The composition of the NCBR Council changes: half of the members will be appointed by the minister, and half by the scientific and business communities.
A ban on competitive activity is introduced for presidents and directors in the Łukasiewicz Research Network.
New regulations allow research institutes to apply for additional subsidies for development or in case of financial difficulties.
The law provides transitional periods for current directors and deputies, who must submit declarations of meeting the new requirements.
