It was thanks to their initiative that in 1990 the University of Warsaw Senate resolved to call into being the EEC Research and European Studies Centre subsequently renamed the Centre for Europe. Our principal tasks include promoting of information and knowledge on functioning of the structures of an integrating Europe, as well as supporting endeavours focused on the faster and fuller integration of Poland with European institutions, particularly in the field of economy, law, politics and culture. The Centre's activities comprise education, training, research, publication, international co-operation and staff exchanges, as well as conferences and seminars. In 1991 the European Commission elevated the Information and Documentation Unit on European Communities , constituting an integral part of the Centre for Europe, to the status of a European Documentation Unit. Library contains scientific literature, basic and most important materials and documents relating to the institutions of the European Communities, as well as major publications focusing on European integration in three automatic catalogues.
