## Summary

OPUS 32 LAP/Weave is a basic research funding call from Poland's National Science Centre (NCN), open to all disciplines for researchers based at Polish host institutions. The Weave-UNISONO and bilateral DAINA/GRIEG variants extend the call to projects run jointly with a foreign partner team.

## Tips for applicants

- Decide early whether to apply under standard OPUS or the Weave-UNISONO/DAINA/GRIEG variant, since the latter requires a confirmed foreign partner team before submission.
- For Weave-UNISONO, check that the partner country's funding agency also participates in the bilateral agreement with NCN.
- Align the Polish and partner-country proposals closely, since Weave-UNISONO evaluations coordinate review across both funding agencies.
