Summary/Abstract: Using the example of projects of the Department of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Warsaw, the article analyses the potential of Ukrainian centres for academic and cultural diplomacy. In the current historical moment, using the soft power of university centres may help not only to react to current problems and mitigate the consequences of tragedies experienced by Ukrainians, including representatives of culture and academia but also to work out specific solutions which will allow to build a programme based on reliable research for popularising the achievements of Ukrainian culture and science in the future. Several activities undertaken in the Department of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Warsaw have been presented, including building a scholarly community of Ukrainians, conducting an international dialogue on key issues in the current historical situation, cooperation with the social environment, as well as training graduates who will be ready to work in various public institutions.
