Summary/Abstract: This article presents the activities of the Centre for East Asian Studies (CEAS), which was established at the University of Gdańsk in 2007. Since its creation, CEAS – first headed by Professor Ewa Oziewicz (2007–2011), then Professor Kamil Zeidler (since October 2011) – has conducted scientific, publishing and cultural activities devoted to East Asian countries. The aim of the CEAS is to coordinate the tasks associated with these countries at Gdańsk University. The Centre maintains contact with educational and research centres in East Asia, and promotes the countries of this region in Poland. Its activities are undertaken independently or in cooperation with other institutions from Poland and abroad, mainly universities, embassies and government organisations, publishing houses and business enterprises related to East Asian countries. The article also presents the wide extent of the field for cooperation the Centre provides not only for scientists and students, but also diplomats, journalists, artists and people working in culture, both in East Asia and in Poland.
