On 1-2 October 2026, the Faculty of the International and Political Studies of the Jagiellonian University will host the Jean Monnet PROSPER Network Academic Conference, entitled 'Europe under Pressure: Security, Governance and Geopolitics in a Time of Global Turmoil'. The conference will bring together scholars and practitioners to analyse the interaction between security, governance and geopolitics across the European Union and its neighbourhood.

We are delighted to announce that Paulina Pilipiuk, an anthropologist, cultural manager, and expert in integration and intercultural dialogue associated with our Institute, has been awarded the title of Kraków Ambassador of Multiculturalism.

The Institute of European Studies at Jagiellonian University has joined the international initiative The Jena Declaration (TJD) as a supporting member. TJD brings together researchers, academic institutions, civil society organisations and partners from around the world who are committed to promoting sustainable development through dialogue between culture, science and society.

Join us in celebrating the inauguration of the 2026/2027 academic year at our Faculty. The ceremony will take place on 2 October at 11:30 AM in the Aula (room 039) at Reymonta 4, Kraków.

Join us in our WSMiP pre-run event, which will take place on 30 September at 11:30am as part of the charity initiative Run for a Good Cause. We are running in support of Jaś Pogoda, the nine-year-old son of a member of staff at the Jagiellonian University. Funds raised will help cover the costs of his treatment, rehabilitation and specialist therapies.
