Why Akademia Jagiellońska
It was Toruń that supported Kazimierz Jagiellończyk, financing the Polish army throughout the conflict.
After having been incorporated to the Kingdom, it was in the early 1470s that the town was granted the right of storage, thanks to which it could develop dynamically. In the 16th cent., along with Gdańsk and Kraków, Toruń had become, thanks to the patronage of the Jagiellon dynasty, the most powerful town of the Crown. It was the European centre of international commerce, as well as economy and culture.
The subsequent rulers from the family of Jagiellons visited Toruń frequently, were delighted seeing it thrive, supported it and took advantage of its development. Some, like Jan Olbracht, passed away in the town.
The tradition of the power of Toruń in the Jagiellon period has inspired us. Referring to the great times in the history of our town, we would like our School to present the directions of its development. It is this direction that shows our mission and aim. We have subordinated our present and future work to it.
