The University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Wrocław has collaborated with the National University of Kiev for 12 years. Since 2002, twenty young research workers have been doing internships at the university within the scope of a scholarship program under Professor Stanisław Tołpa.

The first agreement about bilateral collaboration was signed in 2006. It allowed for exchanges of research workers, students and doctoral students as well as participation in scientific conferences, workshops and seminars. In 2013, the collaboration was extended by student training for students from the Veterinary Medicine Faculty. In June 2014, the Distant Learning Center of the University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Wrocław signed another collaboration agreement with the Faculty of Information Technologies and Economic Cybernetics.

The Ukrainian school is a contact point for the Horizons 2020 program – ”Climate and Effective Use of Resources (Including Raw Materials)” and ”Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture, Marine Research and Bio-economy.”
