Juliusz Mieroszewski Centre for Dialogue, Polish Centrum Dialogu im. Juliusza Mieroszewskiego (formerly, Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding, Polish Centrum Polsko-Rosyjskiego Dialogu i Porozumienia)[1] initiates and supports projects improving dialogue and understanding between Poland and Russian Federation. The centre is a state legal person supervised by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage since April 19, 2011 according to the March 2011 law.[2]

Creation of parallel Polish and Russian dialogue centres was decided during President Medvedev's visit to Poland in December 2010.[3] Russia created the Centre for Russian-Polish Dialogue and Reconciliation in Moscow, which however does not cooperate with the Polish one and its director Juri Bondarenko presents controversial opinions about Russian-Polish relations.[4][5]

In 2022, the institution changed its name from the Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding to the Juliusz Mieroszewski Centre for Dialogue. It is named after Juliusz Mieroszewski.[1]
