Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMPAN). The Center is built
on the long-standing cooperation between the two units, in both teaching
and research. The Center was designated as a Leading National Research
Center (Krajowy Naukowy Osrodek Wiodacy, KNOW) by the Polish Ministry of
Science and Higher Education in July 2012. The award comes with a
substantial grant which will provide financing of the Center for the next
five years. The grant will be used for enhancing the research potential of
both participating institutions; this includes financing post-doctoral
positions.
