Association of International and Area Studies

The Association of International and Area Studies of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow (AIAS) is a self-governing, self-forming student society registered with the Faculty of International and Political Studies.

Our goals

Education - developing academic interests and expanding students' knowledge of international affairs and those of the world.

Communication - integrating students interested in international relations and studies. We look at ways to promote what's happening in the world.

Diversity - creating a community of scholars and universal minds, where our ideas come together.

Inspiring - sparking interest and encouraging each member development through- debates, movie nights, discussion groups, conferences, special projects, study trips, publishing articles and media, etc.

How we work

General Assembly - consists of all official members, 1 official meeting during year/semester.

The Board of Coordinators - executive organ of the association. Its main responsibility is to organize and coordinate the teamwork of the members of the association. It consists of six coordinators led by the President. Each Coordinator is held accountable for the success of his or her branch. The President oversees the six branches of the Board, coordinates between the branches, and offers advice/aid when necessary.

The Audit Committee - its main functions are maintaining the record of the activities of both the Steering Committee and the General Assembly of Members, and settling various disputes which might arise between members of the association.

JOIN US for the experience and help us grow!
