Poznan is a city of Polish mathematicians, who broke the code of Enigma, which was crucial for the allied victory in World War II.

In this city, in June 1956, the Poznan uprising took place, the first workers' insurrection in the countries of the communist bloc.

Today, Poznan is again a place of international business and investment, as well as a place for live debates about the image of Europe with the active participation of young people.
