About Centre Team Lectures

The Centre for East European Studies at the University of Warsaw is a team consisting of a group of full-time, contract and visiting academic lecturers and administrative staff.

At the beginning of the Centre for East European Studies, in 1990, by the decision of the Authorities of the University of Warsaw, Professor Tadeusz Majda of the Orientalist Institute was appointed head of the Centre. All organizational, scientific and publishing work was handled by: Jan Malicki and Andrzej Ananicz, and after the latter’s retirement from government service – Jan Malicki, who then took over the formal management of the Study. A little later, the team was joined by: Dariusz Maciak, Inga Kotanska and Prof. Marek Sliwinski, who came with lectures from Geneva.

Gradually, the Study’s staff expanded. An important moment was firstly the launch of the Eastern Summer School in 1992, but a really key moment was the launch of regular, master’s-level „Eastern Studies” in 1998. In total, 154 lecturers taught at the „Eastern Studies” from 1998 to 2014. Currently, this group has more than 30 lecturers. The administrative team of Centre, from 2-3 people at the very beginning of its activities, currently has more than 20 people.
