The European & Eurasian Studies Program and The European Student Association at FIU, in collaboration with The American Institute of Polish Culture and The Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Poland, are pleased to invite you to a conference celebrating 100 Years of Poland Regaining Independence. In 1918, World War I was over and Poland was free after 123 years of geo-political oblivion. In 2018, we are proud to join the Polish government and the Polish people around the world in commemorating the 100 year anniversary of Poland becoming an independent European country.
