Poland is home to outstanding academic institutions and programs that can provide invaluable support to individuals and organizations that are seeking to maintain, restore, or creatively transform a historic property. For example, a number of Polish universities possess world-class faculties of architecture that conduct innovative research and education relating to the conservation and restoration of historical buildings, while some of the state-run academies of fine arts maintain specialized programs in historical conservation.
