EUREKA! DGP is a project which consists of an article series by the Dziennik Gazeta Prawna newspaper and a contest for the best Polish invention.

• computer science,
• mechanical engineering, technology, land engineering, material engineering, nanotechnology, physics and related sciences,
• biological sciences, biotechnology, chemistry, medical sciences,
• Earth sciences, environmental sciences, agriculture, veterinary medicine.

The Jagiellonian University will be represented by two inventions:
