A new pro-quality program under IDUB, rewarding participation in the implementation of scientific and research work as well as service and research work

A new pro-quality financing program was launched for participation in the implementation of scientific and research work as well as service and research work provided to external entities.

Employees, doctoral students and students of the Silesian University of Technology may apply for funding in the amount of 10% of the net value of the work, after settlement of the work or stage(s) of work. In the case of work settled in stages, the amount of funding is calculated based on the net value of the stage or stages of work.

The maximum amount of pro-quality financing for the entire work may not exceed:

• PLN 300,000 gross if, as a result of the work carried out by the date of submission of the application, a publication was submitted to a journal which was awarded at least 140 points in the list of the Minister of Science current as at the date of submission of the publication, or an application for a patent was submitted in which the contractors from the Silesian University of Technology have a total share of not less than 30%, or an application for the implementation of a research project financed from external sources was submitted, or the work was the basis for obtaining another scientific and research work or service and research work provided to external entities;

• PLN 200,000 in cases other than those mentioned above.

Financing is paid in the form of a quality supplement to the remuneration of people working at the Silesian University of Technology - in the case of employees or in the form of a scholarship - in the case of doctoral students and students. The distribution of financial resources takes place with the consent of all persons from the Silesian University of Technology carrying out a given scientific and research or service and research work, including the work manager's share of not less than 25% of the funds. At the request of the person applying for financing, part of the granted funds may be used to finance other expenses.

Applications for funding may be submitted to the Research Office on a continuous basis, after the work or stage(s) of work have been settled.

Details of the program are regulated by Order No. 41/2024.

We encourage you to obtain scientific and research works as well as service and research works and use this program.
