Academia Europaea Wrocław Knowledge Hub celebrates the anniversary of its presence in Poland. On Friday, 19 May, a special event will be held at Wroclaw Tech to mark the occasion. A lecture will be given by, among others, Nobel Prize winner Prof. Erwin Neher.

The regional branch of Academia Europaea was established in Wrocław in 2011. Over the years, it has been actively involved in organising academic meetings and events, as well as applying resources of the Academia Europaea Association to support the local scientific milieu.

The celebration of the jubilee of the Wrocław Hub of Academia Europaea would be all the more significant, as the event is an exceptional opportunity to promote the mission and objectives of Academia: deep recognition of open thinking, pioneering research, and scientific excellence.
