On 29 January 2026 we will meet the 2026 Interstudents – ambitious young people from all over the world who chose Poland as the place to study. We will choose them for the 16th time, and this time round the competition gala will take place in Kraków, during the annual “Foreign Students in Poland” conference hosted by the Jagiellonian University.

It is not important which university they study at or where do they come from: we are looking for good students, curious and ambitious young people, active and engaged in their university’s academic life. And each year, thanks to cooperation with universities, we find many excellent candidates for the Interstudent title.

Traditionally, the rewards will be given in three categories: BA Studies, MA Studies, and PhD studies (doctoral schools). Starting with this edition, we will also reward the best Polish Heritage Student in Poland. The Jury may also grant a Special Reward for exceptional achievements.

We want to invite the international cooperation departments, lecturers, and colleagues of notable foreign students to submit their candidates. We are waiting to hear about young candidates who do well in their studies, but also get involved in social, scientific, artistic, or sports activities.

We are waiting for applications until 12 December 2025. After this date, the Jury, chaired by Professor Marek Pawełczyk, Chairman of the KRASP International Cooperation Committee, will meet, and – we are certain of this – face many difficulties related to selecting the best among the candidates submitted.
