After the Polonicum’s Awards ceremony, we had started our conference “Life starts after 60… Challenges of the PFL acquisition”. In two, very busy days, we listened to many interesting presentations of our guests, colleagues and friends from the most important universities in Poland. We spent this time not only on having quality discussions, but also with joy, relishing a chance of seeing those who are masters in our discipline.
