Cooperation in the spheres of education, culture and science stems from an umbrella agreement from 1994 and several cooperation programmes. It largely takes place in the form of direct cooperation between cultural institutions and the hosting of music and theatre groups.
In the field of education, inter-university cooperation is very well developed with reciprocal lectureships in the Slovene language in three Polish universities (at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, the University of Warsaw and the Silesian University in Katowice) and in the Polish language at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana.
