Scholars from several generations have studied centuries-old Georgian-Polish relations, with scientists from Tbilisi State University making the greatest contribution to this work.
The international scientific conference “Poland-Georgia: Bicentennial Dialogue” was held at Tbilisi State University. The event was supported by the Chancellery of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, the public organization “Polonia” and the Embassy of Poland in Georgia. It was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the cultural and education union “Polonia.”
The first meeting of the Union "Polonia" took place at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University in 1995. As the founder and chair of the Union, as well as a professor and the head of the Center for Polish Studies at TSU, Maria Filina carried out significant scientific activities, research, and publications at the university.
Since 1998, TSU has held traditional scientific sessions, including international ones, related to Georgian-Polish relations and the Great Poles.
Over these years, several volumes of scientific works have been published on Georgian-Polish relations, as well as monographs on the lives of Poles in the Caucasus and Georgia. Additionally, translations of Polish classics have been made available in Georgian.
These scientific achievements have been highly appreciated in both Georgia and Poland. The Union and its chair have received the highest honors from the Georgian and Polish states.
All of the aforementioned conferences and anniversary events were held under the patronage of the Senate of the Republic of Poland and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Those who attended the opening of the conference included the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland in Georgia, Artur Gębal; the Consul of the Republic of Poland in Georgia, Jan Demczuk; and the Head of the Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Rafał Perl. Scientists from Poland's leading research institutions — the universities of Warsaw and Olsztyn — traveled to Georgia to participate in the conference. Some scientists participated online, including those from the universities of Warsaw, Rzeszów, Białystok, and Olsztyn, as well as the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Three sections were active during the conference: History and Political Science; Literary Studies and Verbal Communication; and Art, Cultural Studies and Education.
As part of the event, a photo exhibition “Polish Architecture in Tbilisi” was opened at the Tbilisi State University Museum.
