The initiative to publish a journal at the University by its employees and students is an ambitious task, that immediately puts this academic community at the forefront of universities, in a way, on a pedestal. By launching our own journal, we want to demonstrate our ambitions and thus reflect our aspirations to exert an impact on the public opinion, not only at the level of the University but also country-wide. There is no denying that the surrounding economic, social, and political events require the utmost attention on the part of those who have both the knowledge and skills enabling them to use the tools with which they can analyze and interpret the events that currently create our reality. The new journal will therefore provide a forum for presenting the opinions of authors who will thus build their expert reputation. At the same time, Vistula will enhance its image as a university that creatively interacts with and shapes this reality.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all those involved in the creation of our journal. I wish you all perseverance and success. You may count on my continuous support.
Professor Wawrzyniec Konarski, Rector of Vistula University
