The City of Kielce, the Kielce University of Technology and the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce have joined to promote jointly the capital of the Świętokrzyskie region as an attractive academic center.

The activities in the program will be directed both to young people from the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, presenting the advantages of education at the highest level close to home, as well as their aim will be to encourage students from outside the region who are looking for an interesting alternative to studies offered by the largest academic centers to study in Kielce.

“In a moment, this year’s secondary school graduates will choose universities, further education and career paths. One of the most important and difficult decisions in life is before them. That is why we have been cooperating with Kielce universities in the field of mutual promotion for many years and we encourage students to study in Kielce”, said Bogdan Wenta, Mayor of Kielce.

As Marcin Chłodnicki, the vice-president of Kielce added, the goal of the project is clear for everyone. “It is necessary to stop the dangerous process of depopulation observed in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship and in the city of Kielce itself. The future of the city and the entire region depends on it”, said Chłodnicki.
