Juliusz Mieroszewski Centre for Dialogue

Juliusz Mieroszewski Centre for Dialogue, Polish Centrum Dialogu im. Juliusza Mieroszewskiego (formerly, Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding, Polish Centrum Polsko-Rosyjskiego Dialogu i Porozumienia) initiates and supports projects improving dialogue and understanding between Poland and Russian Federation. The centre is a state legal person supervised by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage since April 19, 2011 according to the March 2011 law.

Creation of parallel Polish and Russian dialogue centres was decided during President Medvedev's visit to Poland in December 2010. Russia created the Centre for Russian-Polish Dialogue and Reconciliation in Moscow, which however does not cooperate with the Polish one and its director Juri Bondarenko presents controversial opinions about Russian-Polish relations.

In 2022, the institution changed its name from the Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding to the Juliusz Mieroszewski Centre for Dialogue. It is named after Juliusz Mieroszewski.
