There is a lack of special articles about the state of Ukrainian studies in Poland, in particular in Cracow. There is also lack of knowledge about scientific events on both sides and socio-political challenges related to different traditions of interpretation of historical events by the scientists in both of the states, their politicization and the necessity to continue the international scientific dialogue in the process of the integration of Ukrainian science in the international contemporary science. The goal of the article is to trace the trends in the development of research and education in the field of Ukrainian studies in Cracow, — to analize their influence on the process of strengthening of the Polish-Ukrainian partnership. The object of the article is activity of the Cracow Ukrainian Studies Center: scientific institutions, it’s main representatives and initiators of the international Polish-Ukrainian cooperation. The subject of the researcj are the main directions, results, the difficulties and prospects of the international cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian researchers in Cracow. The sources of the article are interviews with the representatives of Polish scientific institutions, which are investigating various aspects of Ukrainian studies, and also maintain scientific contacts with Ukrainian specialists. The article is based on the fundamental methodological approaches of the scientific research and includes the use of various methods: interviewing according to the prepared questionnaire, comparative-historical, structurally-functional, typological analysis, etc.

Ukrainian studies in Cracow are represented by the row of scientists: Volodymyr Mokryy, Yaroslav Moklak, Jan Yacek Bruski, Zbigniew Libera, Andrew Betley, Agneshka Gronek, Vitaliy Nagirnyy and others.
