The Institute of Psychology of the Jagiellonian University (IP UJ) has signed a cooperation agreement with the Malopolska Cogiteon Science Center in Krakow (MCN), which aims to exchange experiences and implement joint projects promoting science.

Closer cooperation will enable to use the full potential of both institutions. Dr Michał Wierzchoń emphasizes, that the university depends on the transfer of modern psychological knowledge to the university’s social environment, which is why the network of partner institutions should be constantly being expanded. The scientists of the Jagiellonian University are already involved in the preparation of the permanent exhibition at MCN.

According to the director of MCN Piotr Szymański, so far in the science centers the main focus has been directed on exact sciences, which is why Cogiteon wants to change this trend, also paying attention to social sciences.
