GENERAL PRESENTATION OF THE PROGRAMME
2
Creation : 2009 (Convention 2008)
The purpose of this programme is to develop excellence scientific and technological exchanges between the French and Polish laboratories, by promoting new scientific collaborations and integrating in the projects young researchers and PhD students.
Total budget (France + Poland) : around 270 000 € / year >> including budget from the French part : 135 000 € / year >> including budget from the Polish part : 135 000 € / year
Average budget per project (France + Poland) : 13 000 € / year
Number of new projects per year : around 32
From 2005-2017 : 814 applications submitted 422 projects funded

PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS
36
Preliminary conclusions suggest that the funding scheme has efficiently contributed to create (or to maintain) fruitful and long-term cooperation, despite the relatively low financial support, which is to be considered as “seed money”. Polonium programme is an opportunity to initiate new collaborations (67%) Good average rate of scientific production per PhD (0,94) Only 60% of the projects involve at least one PhD student French PIs young researchers are only 22 % of laureates Too many applications to Polonium programme after a Polonium funding (36%) Average co-publications rate including at least 1 PhD or PostDoc is too low (34% vs 41% mean).
November 18th, 2019, Varsovie
PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
37
RECOMMENDATIONS Explore new financial supports after the Polonium funding Promote co-publications (30% of projects with no co-publications) Promote number of co-publications per project Encourage PIs to increase the implication of PhDs Encourage the mobility of young researchers (29% of all mobilities) Promote REAL new cooperations Consider a “POLONIUM +” to help PIs at the end of their financing
