About the conference:
Professor Jan Winiecki (died in 2016) was a highly respected economist in Poland and abroad, known for his rich academic output and views in the spirit of classical liberalism. He was also a valued academic teacher, highly regarded by his students. Professor Winiecki played a prominent role in the political and economic scene during the period of systemic transformation in Poland. Additionally, he was a talented economic publicist and a dedicated social activist. He co-founded TEP – the Society of Polish Economists and the Adam Smith Centre.
To commemorate and promote Professor Winiecki’s thoughts and achievements, the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów, the Association of Polish Economists, and the University of Gdańsk, institutions closely associated with this remarkable economist, initiated an annual All-Polish Academic Conference named after him. The inaugural edition of the conference took place on November 26-27, 2020, in Sopot/Warsaw.”
