Easier Use of Foreign Languages in Scientific and EU Projects
New regulations will allow the use of foreign languages in scientific research competitions and in processes related to obtaining European funds, such as application evaluation, contract signing, and appeals. This aims to facilitate international cooperation and increase the efficiency of spending, but may incur additional translation costs for the administration.
Key points
Possibility of using a foreign language in the evaluation of applications for EU project funding, as well as in contracts and appeal procedures.
Allowance for foreign languages in competitions for scientific research and development projects, including application evaluation and appeal procedures.
The changes do not apply to competitions and calls initiated before the law comes into force.
The goal is to increase the internationalization of Polish science and economy, but there is a risk of increased translation costs and potential abuses.
