Warsaw, June 25-26, 2015
Res Publica Festival is our first attempt at connecting everything we find exciting – the city, ideas and innovation. We debate, argue and operate on a daily basis by publishing three thought-provoking magazines. This past year we have intensified our efforts and achieved even better results. Through our projects – New Europe 100 and the Coalition for Polish Innovations – we analyze and promote the direction of the development of the region; City DNA helps create more informed cultural policies. Because we understand that ideas have practical consequences.
