Request for supervisory audit
of the National Science Centre and the Jagiellonian University

Kraków, 30 July 2026. Today I submitted to the Minister of Science and Higher Education a request for supervisory measures and an audit under art. 426(1)(1) and art. 427 of the Law on Higher Education and Science. The request concerns two related matters: the failure of the Jagiellonian University's authorities to take the steps required by art. 282 of that Law, and irregularities in how the National Science Centre (NCN) published its list of grants awarded on appeal.

The request rests solely on publicly available data and on the written statements of the Jagiellonian University itself, dated 28 and 29 July 2026 (file no. 75.0162.67.2026), from which it follows that after receiving explanations from three professors the Vice-Rector for Research took no further action whatsoever: no proceedings were opened, no decision was issued and no institution was notified.

The attached documentation analyses the full list of applications qualified for funding by the Appeals Committee of the NCN Council — 170 entries totalling 157,153,339 PLN — together with sixteen archived versions of that list. Among other findings: for more than twenty-seven months, from September 2020 to December 2022, not a single appeal decision was added to the public list, and forty-six overdue decisions concerning competitions from 2020–2025 were disclosed only between March and November 2025 — at the very moment a competition-name column was added to the table.
