Polish Academy of Sciences – Scientific Station in Paris, together with the foreign stations of the PAS in Brussels, Rome, Berlin, Vienna and Kyiv, invites to a unique event dedicated to Polish scholars whose achievements shaped and still influence the development of European science.
The meeting will combine reflection on inspiring figures of the past with a conversation about the challenges of contemporary researchers. The exhibition accompanying the event – prepared on the occasion of the Polish Presidency in the Council of the EU – will present the profiles of outstanding scholars and their successors, emphasizing the links of Polish science with the priorities of European research and development policies, including the Horizon Europe program.
The premiere of the exhibition took place during the conference “Transnational Science Cooperation: Fostering Collaborative Research in Europe and Poland,” organized by NAWA on 23–24 June 2025 in Brussels. See the coverage of the exhibition’s inauguration in Brussels here.
