New 'undertaking' instrument for defense and state security-related research tasks.
Research institutes: new requirements for directors (PhD degree, no work in communist security services), possibility of entity subsidy for development or rescue.
Łukasiewicz Network: abolition of management contracts, introduction of non-compete clauses for presidents and directors.
Kórnik Foundations: change in Board of Curators composition, minister's power to dismiss members.
