35 Years of the Treaty on Good Neighbourliness – 35 Years of FWPN
We are shortening application review periods to two months in the anniversary year 2026
In 2026 we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on Good Neighbourliness and Friendly Cooperation between the Republic of Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany, which also gave rise to the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation (FWPN).
Over the past 35 years, the Foundation has supported and initiated valuable bilateral projects. The anniversary obliges us, in keeping with our mission, to celebrate it together with our partners and applicants. We encourage you to submit grant applications as part of the anniversary project line “35 Years of the Treaty on Good Neighbourliness – 35 Years of FWPN.”
