The Open Competition is a grant programme organised by the Mieroszewski Centre to support projects that promote the history, culture and heritage of the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe.

Projects that involve cooperation between Poland and other countries in the region are of exceptional importance in the Open Competition. Such initiatives contribute to the strengthening of international relations and cultural, educational and scientific cooperation. Bilateral projects enable the exchange of experience and knowledge, contributing to a better understanding of shared history, culture and current political challenges. Supporting this kind of cooperation is key to building lasting ties between nations and developing joint activities in Central and Eastern Europe.

Grant funds can be used to implement a variety of cultural, educational, research and heritage promotion projects in Central and Eastern Europe. The grant can be used to fund the organisation of conferences, workshops, debates, cultural meetings, exhibitions, as well as publishing projects. Support can cover national and international travel costs, accommodation, meals for participants, speakers‘ fees, coordinators’ salaries and administrative and promotional costs. Interdisciplinary projects that bring together different areas of knowledge can also be supported.
