Prof. Andrzej Sokala, rector of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Prof. Jacek Popiel, rector of Jagiellonian University in Krakow, and Prof. Jerzy Przyborowski, rector of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, signed a letter of intent to establish an International Centre for Copernican Studies.

The Centre will serve to further the development of Copernican research and to deepen and broaden contacts that have been established through the World Copernican Congress. The work and discussions to date show that Copernican research has not been exhausted and that the figure of the astronomer and his achievements continue to animate the minds of researchers from all over the world.

The life, work and reception of Nicolaus Copernicus’ achievements continue to inspire researchers, which is reflected in the extensive programme of events organised as part of the celebrations of the 550th anniversary of the great astronomer’s birth.
