The Polish Press Agency Foundation (Fundacja PAP) was created in 2016. The main goals of the Foundation are, among other things, to promote culture, science and sport in Poland through mass and foreign media.
The Foundation falls under the legal remit of the Culture Minister, whose duties include protecting the country’s national and cultural heritage.
In addition to publishing informative, promotional and educational topics, the Foundation also engages in research.
The Foundation cooperates with scientific institutions both at home and abroad, as well as local government bodies and economic institutions. It also supports the activities of individuals and institutions carrying out work in line with the Foundation’s goals.
The Foundation was established by a joint-stock company under the name of Polska Agencja Prasowa Spółka Akcyjna and the bodies of the Foundation consist of the Foundation Council and the Foundation Board.

Mussels in decline, or how superorganisms are dying out
Mussels are extraordinary organisms that have dominated aquatic ecosystems for millions of years - from the depths of the oceans to the sources of streams. They are long-lived, with some species living for hundreds of years. Despite this, their numbers have been decreasing drastically in recent decades. New research by Polish scientists - Tadeusz Zając, PhD, and Katarzyna Zając, PhD, professors at the Institute of Nature Conservation of the Polish Academy of Sciences - sheds light on the causes of this phenomenon.
