The agreement was signed by Polish Science Minister Marcin Kulasek and Professor Erol Özvar, chair of Turkey's Council of Higher Education.
"This will strengthen the standing of both Polish and Turkish science," Kulasek said, adding that the two sides intend to develop joint projects and grants, including those funded by European sources.
"This partnership will grow – not just in science, but more broadly, across both our economies," he added.
A Polish-Turkish Centre for Studies was also inaugurated at the event.
It is set to support joint research in areas including artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, food biotechnology, migration, intercultural studies and modern logistics.
The centre is also expected to develop joint degree programmes, doctoral studies and academic mobility under Erasmus+.
Turkey is among the countries with which Polish universities cooperate most intensively, according to Professor Bogumiła Kaniewska, chair of the Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools in Poland.
"Many Turkish students complete full degree cycles in Poland and we conduct joint research," she said.
More than 150 participants from over 60 universities attended the forum, which covers areas including biotechnology, cybersecurity, energy transition and the humanities.
"This is proof that our agreements from Ankara last year are entering a completely new phase," said University of Gdańsk rector Professor Piotr Stepnowski.
The first such forum was held in the Turkish capital in September 2025.
