Origin of the Institute of Knowledge Society

The idea of the Polish Rectors Foundation (PRF) was closely related to that of an independent research institute. Considering an interest which an initiative of establishing such an institute has drawn among rectors of non-public higher education institutions, the Board of the Polish Rectors Foundation decided that PRF and its partner representing non-public higher education institutions will jointly set up the Institute of Knowledge Society (IKS), as an non-governmental research institution acting in the area of higher education. The Consortium of Non-State Higher Education Institutions, founded on 2 April 2003 by representatives of 16 most renowned private institutions, has become the partner of the Polish Rectors Foundation in creating the Institute of Knowledge Society.
