Projects

Although the Center is primarily conceived as an academic institution, the aim of the Center is also to communicate new scientific knowledge and research about the Holocaust and other genocides to the wider public. The planned activities of the Center will strengthen the connection between higher education and society and are based on scientific events like education and workshops, as well as lectures aimed at popularizing science. The transfer of knowledge will also be implemented through other relevant activities that engage the public, such as the organization of excursions, exhibitions, round table discussion, lifelong learning education programs, and workshops for teachers. A long-term goal of the Center is to engage students and others interested in the work of the Center as volunteers and interns.
