A strong representation from our Institute took part in Saturday’s trek through the Pieniny Mountains as part of the Faculty of International and Political Studies at the Jagiellonian University integration trip—undaunted by both rain and sunshine 😎

We are delighted to announce that Prof. Przemysław Tacik from our Institute has been recognised for the high quality of his teaching in the 2024/2025 academic year. The award was presented during a ceremony held on 16 June 2026 in the Auditorium of the Collegium Novum at the Jagiellonian University. Our warmest congratulations to Prof. Tacik on this well-deserved distinction.

A cooperation agreement has been signed between the Institute of European Studies at the Jagiellonian University and the Association of Poles in Italy (Associazione dei Polacchi in Italia). The Association is the oldest and largest umbrella organisation representing the Polish community on the Italian Peninsula. Founded in 1995, it brings together 19 Polish diaspora organisations from across Italy, including numerous associations based in Rome.

Mobility programmes are a great opportunity to learn a language, explore other cultures, build international contacts, and enhance your CV. Take advantage of these opportunities!
