The Pro Polonia Foundation supports scientific research, including in the field of Polish diaspora issues, implements exchanges between the country and the Polish diaspora and Poles living in various parts of the world, and develops the educational ambitions of the Polish community and Poles.
– Our goal is to develop broad cooperation among the Polish diaspora and Poles living abroad – from education, culture, through religion, economy, to sports or tourism. We support the integration of Polish communities abroad, as well as bilateral contacts: between Polish society, mainly young people, academic circles and the Polish diaspora and Poles living abroad – says about the Pro Polonia Foundation, the rector of the UKSW, Rev. Prof. Richard Czekalski.
The Foundation was established in October 2020, during the inauguration of the academic year, in the presence of the honorary patron, Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, the Great Chancellor of Church Faculties of UKSW.
