Minister of Science and Higher Education Marcin Kulasek has announced the results of the 20th edition of the scholarship competition for outstanding young scientists. This year, 27 researchers from the Jagiellonian University received scholarships, including one female scientist and three male scientists from the Faculty of Philosophy. The laureates will receive support in the amount of PLN 5,390 per month for a period of three years.

The Jagiellonian University ranks just behind the University of Warsaw, with the Warsaw University of Technology in third place — this is the top of the latest 2025 Perspektywy University Ranking. An important part of the ranking is the Ranking of Study Programs. Among the 18 top-rated programs at the Jagiellonian University, Philosophy and Psychology, offered by the Faculty of Philosophy, took first place. Also recognized were Special Education and Sociology, which ranked second, and Education, which placed third.

Prof. dr hab. Cezary Galewicz from the Centre for Comparative Studies of Civilisations at the Faculty of Philosophy, Jagiellonian University, will carry out the project titled “Voices from the Deep South: the rise of Pattu song cultures of South Asia.” The project offers a completely new, comprehensive, and integrative perspective on the history of song cultures in South Asia, with a particular focus on southern India. It envisions the creation of a digital archive of songs, comprising audiovisual recordings, transcriptions, identification and documentation of written sources, as well as other types of artifacts. The five-year research will involve specialists working at the intersection of cultural studies, literary anthropology, linguistics, ethnomusicology, and digital humanities, from Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, the United States, and India.
