About the Open Source Culture Foundation
The Foundation was created with the goal of popularising artistic activity and culture in Poland; support for art criticism; and encouragement of active participation in cultural projects and events. OSCF fulfills its objectives through promoting the development of cultural magazines, offering support for cultural initiatives undertaken by publishers and editorial offices, publishing and co-publishing of magazines, books and Internet vortals and providing training and financial support. Through its Journal Showcase project (http://witryna.czasopism.pl), the OSCF helps editorial offices of low-print social and cultural magazines to publish their material online. The Foundation supports new technical solutions that reduce costs of production and distribution of both printed and electronic versions of cultural magazines. OSCF also supports the development of Open Source software for creating an online environment for cultural periodicals.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the Jagiellonian Universitys Faculty of Law made an important contribution to the foundations of modern Poland, which was restored in 1918 as an independent country. The Universitys current Faculty of Law and Administration is proud to continue in the tradition, with many of its senior staff holding key offices in the Polish legislative and executive bodies. The Faculty comprises of 32 research and teaching units that provide first-degree courses for undergraduates reading Law and Administration. Undoubtedly one of the most significant courses offered is the civil law course. Professors of the Chair of Civil Law are considered international authorities in their respective subjects. Kraków is very often called the capital of Intellectual Property Law in Poland, due to the fame of its Institute of IP Law.
