  • DESCRIPTION: The Polish Academic Information Center, which started operations in October 1996, is an interuniversity agency of the University at Buffalo, the flagship campus of the State University of New York, and Poland's Jagiellonian University, one of the oldest universities in Central and Eastern Europe. Its establishment, under the aegis of Poland's Ministry of National Education, constitutes an extension of the collaboration, now in its seventh year, between the two institutions. One of the Center's missions is to provide on-line listings and data bases pertaining to resources, events, opportunities and individuals which could prove useful to individuals interested in Poland and Polonica.
