The new premises of the Alfred Jahn Centre for Research into Cold Regions have been opened at Wrocław University Library. The Centre is an interdisciplinary unit operating within the organisational structure of the Institute of Geography and Regional Development at the Faculty of Earth Sciences and Environmental Management of the University of Wrocław.

The Centre’s mission is to develop research on environmental changes in cold regions, with particular emphasis on permafrost, periglacial and paraglacial environments. The Centre also takes care of and defines the directions of research carried out at the Stanisław Baranowski Polar Station on Spitsbergen.

The Centre’s state-of-the-art space is intended to provide conditions for scientists to develop research and teaching cooperation and to create a place for dialogue between representatives of science and natural sciences, social sciences and humanities and technical sciences in the area of research on the natural, socio-economic and cultural environment of cold regions.
