Conditions
Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.
- Applicant type
- Applicant must be a representative trade-union organization or representative employer organization under the cited Social Dialogue Council Act, or a regional/sector organization affiliated within the structure of one of those representative organizations.
- Eligible project scope
- Target groups are social partners; their representatives; and enterprises/other employers and their workers.
- Eligible project scope
- Project must address exactly one of three types: (1) social partners’ actions on healthy/active ageing at work; (2) strengthen employer/worker representation in social dialogue about digitalisation and automation in economy, education and labour market; or (3) strengthen that representation on the European Green Deal. The call aims to produce and disseminate recommendation packages or proposed system solutions.
- Other condition
- Open call uses two KOP submission windows: 3–25 September 2026 for the first sitting, and 26 September–26 October 2026 for the second. The official page states overall call dates 3 September–26 October 2026.
- Other condition
- For project personnel costs, the applicant must state engagement form and estimated workload (FTE/hours), and justify the proposed salary using customary beneficiary pay for analogous positions/qualifications, labour-law rules, or public statistics. General personnel-pay eligibility rules remain in the national eligibility guidelines and FERS financing rules.
- Project duration, maximum
- 24
Maximum planned implementation period. Regulation allows exceptional extension with Intermediary Institution approval by no more than 12 months for unforeseeable circumstances or a project-scope change; do not treat 24 months as an absolute final ceiling after approved extension.
- Staff restriction
- In partnership projects, partners may not mutually commission one another to perform project-personnel tasks.
Amounts and costs
- Catalogue budget
- PLN 48,000,000
Figure as listed by the provider. Whether it is the total allocation or a per-project cap is unverified unless a reviewed condition says so.
- Call allocation
- PLN 48,000,000
Total allocation for projects selected in this competition. Separate estimated EU contribution is PLN 39,609,600; the central portal has a conflicting number written out in words, so the regulation’s numeric amount and spelled-out words agree and control.
- Eligible cost
- The call distinguishes direct substantive project personnel from managerial/administrative personnel: direct personnel costs cover substantive tasks only; project coordination, management, accounting/settlement, monitoring and administration belong to indirect costs. Indirect costs are paid as a flat rate against direct costs and cover the closed indirect-cost catalogue.
- Eligible cost
- Indirect pool includes project coordinator/manager, management and organizational support (not substantive personnel), project accounting/settlement, monitoring, administration, support staff and accounting services; the catalogue is closed. The list includes administration and function examples, not a fixed project staffing roster.
- Eligible cost limit
- 15
Flat-rate indirect-cost pool is 15% of direct costs where direct-cost value exceeds PLN 1,740,000 and is up to PLN 4,550,000. This is not a payroll rate. The project cap is PLN 2.4m total so the threshold range above the cap cannot be reached, but source tier retained exactly.
- Eligible cost limit
- 20
Flat-rate indirect-cost pool is 20% of direct costs where direct-cost value exceeds PLN 830,000 and is up to PLN 1,740,000. This is not a payroll rate.
- Eligible cost limit
- 25
Flat-rate indirect-cost pool is 25% of direct costs where direct-cost value is up to PLN 830,000. This is not a payroll rate.
- Eligible unit cost, maximum
- PLN 319
Annex 3 item 4, trainer remuneration: maximum market unit cost PLN 319 per clock hour of trainer work. Entry is eligible only if justified by project specifics, trainer has higher/vocational education or certificates/documents enabling the support, and at least 2 years of relevant professional experience. This is a service-cost ceiling, not an automatic salary entitlement; training specifically linked to implementation of recommendations/system solutions remains employer-borne when planned. Regulation says applicants may not show unit prices above Annex 3 ceilings.
- Funding intensity
- 82.52
Maximum EU contribution in the project; distinct from the 97% maximum total public co-financing rate.
- Funding intensity
- 97
Maximum total co-financing of eligible project expenditure (EU funds plus national public co-financing awarded by the competent institution).
- Ineligible cost
- The call states that no project cross-financing expenditure is planned/allowed in this call.
- Ineligible cost
- Training costs delivered in connection with implementing recommendations or system solutions remain on employers’ side, if such activities are planned in the project.
- Own contribution, minimum
- 3
Minimum applicant own contribution as a share of the total project value.
- Project funding, maximum
- PLN 2,400,000
Maximum value of one application/project is PLN 2,400,000; a given applicant may submit at most one application for each project type, and each application may address only one type (types 1, 2, or 3). This is a per-project/application cap, not a cumulative applicant cap across the three project types.
Personnel and services
Project management
Staff cost the grant can fund
Pool is a percentage of direct costs: 25% up to PLN830k, 20% above PLN830k through PLN1.74m, 15% above PLN1.74m through PLN4.55m. This is an indirect budget ceiling, never a salary rate. No minimum or named person is specified.
Other role
Staff cost the grant can fund
Application must state engagement form and estimated FTE/hours and justify the proposed salary by customary analogous-role pay, labour-law rules or public statistics. Detailed pay eligibility follows external national guidelines and FERS financing rules not independently reviewed. No role-specific credential, headcount, FTE minimum, project staffing roster, duration or salary amount is inferred.
Other role
Example only
If otherwise eligible and project-specific, the trainer service ceiling is PLN319 per clock hour; higher/vocational education or enabling certificates and at least 2 years of relevant experience are named conditions. It is a unit cost ceiling for trainer work, not a salary rate, hiring entitlement, or required employment contract.
