Acknowledgments

Many people have assisted in the preparation of this Project. But, of course, as the author and coordinator of the Abstract Project, I feel responsible for any shortcomings. I would like to give special thanks to a group of enthusiastic Ph.D. students of the Jagiellonian University – representatives of a variety of research fields and members of my English course – without whom this website would have never been created. I am particularly grateful to those who supported me after the classes were finished and worked on the Project during their holidays. Their work goes far beyond the standard requirements of an English university course.
