Copernicus House is a program that fills gaps in the support provided to active and enterprising young people in Poland. The Nicolaus Copernicus Main School provides international, interdisciplinary education, where the highest quality comes first. Acting in the spirit of the Copernican Revolution, we have created a project that will add futurology, artificial intelligence and modern technology to the university’s activities. We hope that both initiatives will receive a positive response from future leaders, entrepreneurs, people with passion and enormous imagination, who reach beyond the borders of our country, following the example of Nicolaus Copernicus. During the first day of the congress, the Futurist of the Year 2024 award gala will take place – I am convinced that Nicolaus Copernicus should receive such a statuette in at least several categories. – summarized Dr. Piotr Turek, headmaster of the Nicolaus Copernicus Main School.

Futurist Of The Year and Dom Copernicus are two related projects built from the ground up in collaboration with world-class international leaders, strategists and visionaries. For three days, the most prominent representatives of the world of education, banking and modern technology, and especially the best futurologists in the world, will come to Poland. The Copernicus House project will at the same time attract ambitious leaders of the young generation to Warsaw, where they will have the opportunity to interact and gain experience with experts they already know from books and digital content.
