This congress will explore the evolving and increasingly vital role of pharmacists in health promotion, disease prevention, and patient education. As accessible and trusted healthcare professionals, pharmacists are uniquely positioned to contribute to public health efforts on multiple levels. 

Nature lovers will find endless beauty in Poland's diverse landscapes - the majestic Tatra Mountains, the serene Mazury Lake District, and the wild Białowieża Forest one of the last and largest remaining parts of the primeval forest that once stretched across Europe, home to the rare European bison. Along the Baltic Sea, sandy beaches and charming coastal towns like Gdansk offer both relaxation and a glimpse into Poland's maritime heritage.

Poland is also a country of rich traditions, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality. Traditional Polish dishes such as pierogi, bigos, żurek and schabowy are hearty and flavorful, often tied to family and seasonal celebrations.

Despite its complex and often turbulent past, Poland has emerged as a modern, forward-looking nation — a proud member of the European Union since 2004 with a strong sense of identity. Its people are known for their resilience and deep cultural pride. The legacy of the Solidarity (Solidarność) movement, which played a pivotal role in the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe, remains a powerful symbol of civic courage and unity.
