On the initiative of the University of Gdańsk, the Pomeranian Regional Assembly has declared 2015 the Year of Mathematics in Pomerania. This is a first for Poland. The events planned for the occasion are designed to popularise mathematics and to combat the negative stereotypes associated with this branch of science. The University of Gdańsk has prepared competitions, TV shows, maths matches, lectures, workshops and meetings for pupils at all levels of education.
