Sporazum se v izvirniku v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi:* Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Republike Poljske, v nadaljnjem besedilu pogodbenici, sta se, ker se zavedata tako prednosti, ki izhajajo iz povečanega znanstvenega in tehnološkega sodelovanja za naroda obeh držav, kakor tudi pomena le-tega za razvoj nacionalnih gospodarstev in blaginjo obeh držav, v prepričanju, da bo mednarodno sodelovanje v znanosti in tehnologiji okrepilo prijateljske vezi in razumevanje med državama, dogovorili o naslednjem :

Pogodbenici razvijata in podpirata znanstveno in tehnološko sodelovanje med sodelujočimi organizacijami (v skladu z aneksom k temu sporazumu) obeh držav na podlagi enakosti in v obojestransko korist. Sodelujejo lahko znanstveni inštituti, znanstvena združenja, univerze, vladne organizacije in druge raziskovalne in razvojne organizacije (v skladu z aneksom k temu sporazumu).

Po tem sporazumu znanstveno in tehnološko sodelovanje poteka v okviru : a) znanstvenih in tehnoloških raziskav in razvoja na skupaj dogovorjenih področjih, b) izmenjav znanstvenikov, strokovnjakov, raziskovalcev in izvedencev, c) izmenjav znanstvenih in tehnoloških informacij in dokumentacije v zvezi z dejavnostjo sodelovanja, d) skupnih znanstvenih konferenc, simpozijev, delavnic in drugih srečanj, e) drugih oblik znanstvenega in tehnološkega sodelovanja, o katerih se pogodbenici lahko medsebojno dogovorita.

Pogodbenici spodbujata in podpirata sodelovanje in udeležbo v multilateralnih in regionalnih znanstvenih, tehnoloških in razvojnih programih in projektih.

Sodelovanje po tem sporazumu poteka v skladu z veljavnimi zakoni in predpisi obeh držav kot tudi v skladu s predpisi mednarodnih organizacij, katerih članici sta pogodbenici.

Za namen izvajanja tega sporazuma pogodbenici ustanovita skupno komisijo, sestavljeno iz predstavnikov in izvedencev, ki jih imenujeta pogodbenici. Skupna komisija določa področja sodelovanja v znanosti in tehnologiji, usklajuje sodelovanje na dogovorjenih področjih in presoja razvoj sodelovanja. Sprejme izvedbeni program sodelovanja, spremlja izvajanje programov, in če je treba, predlaga dejavnosti za uresničitev rezultatov, doseženih pri sodelovanju.

Stroški izmenjave izvedencev, znanstvenikov in drugih strokovnjakov, ki nastanejo po tem sporazumu, se bodo krili na naslednji način: sodelujoča organizacija, ki pošilja, plača stroške povratne poti med glavnima mestoma obeh držav, organizacija, ki sprejema, pa plača v celoti stroške nastanitve in potovanj znotraj države, če ni drugače dogovorjeno med sodelujočimi organizacijami – v skladu z aneksom k temu sporazumu.
