The Polish Academy of Arts and Science has in its gift the Anna (née Dyaczyńska) and Zbigniew Herman Scholarships for research in the fields of anaesthetics or pharmacology at leading scientific centres – primarily in the USA.

The scholarship fund was established at the Polish Academy of Arts and Science from assets derived from the bequests of prof. Zbigniew Herman and his wife, prof. Anna Dyaczyńska-Herman.

According to the wishes of the testators, the scholarship is open to doctors who are citizens of the Republic of Poland, are no more than twenty-eight years of age on the date of application and are employed in an academic capacity at Polish medical universities or medical scientific institutes. The scholarship will be awarded alternately to doctors working academically and specialising in anaesthetics and intensive care or in clinical pharmacology.

Scholarships are distributed by the Scholarship Committee at the Polish Academy of Sciences, which consists of the director of PAU Faculty V Medicine, three PAU members belonging to Faculty V and the PAU secretary general. The scholarships are awarded every few years at indefinite intervals.

The ‘Kraków Scientific Conferences’ programme was proposed by the Kraków Consultative Council for Scientific Affairs appointed by the President of the City of Kraków. It has been running since 2011 and provides funding for the best conferences and symposia organised by the scientific community in Kraków. The focus is on international conferences lasting a minimum of two days and attracting a large number of participants. In addition to supporting scientific activities, the programme aims to promote Kraków as a city of learning, research, culture, and tourism.
Funding for its implementation is provided by the City of Krakow, and a competition to identify conferences worthy of financial support is organised by the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. The competition’s commission is composed of representatives of the rectors and presidents of eleven universities and research institutions in Krakow and the directors of the relevant city council departments.
It meets at the beginning of each year to evaluate the proposals submitted and to allocate funds. Administrative support for the competition is provided by PAU, and the contracts are concluded and the money transferred by the City of Krakow.
Approximately eighty conferences are supported each year.

PAU works with the PAN Institute of History to compile and publish the Dictionary of Polish Biography (DPB). From 1935-1949, the DBP was published by PAU. Subsequently, its continuation was halted for ideological reasons. It was revived only after the Polish October of 1956. It was then that a dedicated office for producing the DPB was established as part of the PAN Department of Documentation. The dictionary resumed publication in 1958 and continues to be issued to this day.
The DPB office was raised to the rank of a department in 1975.
Since 1999, PAU has contributed to compiling the dictionary by making 193 m2 of floorspace available free of charge to the Department for the Dictionary of Polish Biography.

PAU is now conducting well over a dozen research projects [Link to projects subpage], which are supported by  the Ministry of Education and Science (now National Science Centre and National Programme for the Development of the Humanities). PAU has also benefited from grants awarded by the Senate of the Republic of Poland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and the Małopolska Voivodship Regional Operational Programme.
The indefinite grant from the Lanckoroński Foundation for the publication of Acta Nuntiaturae Polonae series at PAU has already been mentioned.
