The results of the first edition of the "Mobility Plus" competition have been announced by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Among the 58 winners, there are 6 members of the Jagiellonian University staff:

• Dr Monika Srebro from the JU Faculty of Chemistry, going to the Department of Chemistry, University at Buffalo
• Dr Zofia Wodniecka-Chlipalska from the JU Faculty of Philosophy, going to the Center for Language Science, Pennsylvania State University
• Dr Maria Dainotti from the JU Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science, going to the Stanford University 
• Dr Halina Jurkowska from the Faculty of Medicine of the JU Medical College, going to the Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University
• Dr hab. Bartłomiej Dybiec from the JU Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science, going to the University of California
• Dr Szymon Pustelny from the JU Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science, going to the Department of Physics, University of California at Berkeley

The goal of the "Mobility Plus programme is to give Polish scholars the opportunity to conduct research at the prestigious foreign research centres, under the supervision of the internationally renowned authorities in a given field.

The programme finances the participants' stay in the place where the foreign research centre is located, together with their spouses and children below the age of 18. The costs of the journey from their home town/city to the destination are also covered.

The programme aims to support its participants in the further development of their academic career through the participation in the research and development projects which require the use of equipment and methods currently unavailable in Poland. The financial support provided for accompanying family members will hopefully help the participants overcome personal problems when they face when going abroad.
