UL: Popularisation of science

The University of Wrocław became a part of the Artificial Intelligence Cluster. On 20 February, an agreement was signed on the establishment of the Wrocław cluster, whose mission is to enable and accelerate the implementation of artificial intelligence in economic, educational and social activities and to promote research and innovation in AI.
