ABOUT US
The association Patrimonium Sancti Adalberti, z.s. was founded in
June 2020 with the aim of studying, formulating, and interpreting the heritage
of Saint Adalbert in the context of the Central European region and its
value-related, cultural, religious, economic, and state-law needs. To promote
this idea,
the Association also intends to organize seminars, conferences, and
other public activities.
The Association has a dignified seat in the capital of the Czech
Republic, in Prague 6, symbolically
in the Břevnov Monastery founded by Bishop
Adalbert of Prague in 993, and has been registered in the Register of
Associations administered by the Municipal Court in Prague.
The members of the Association are not only experts on the spiritual and historical legacy of St. Adalbert, but also economists, constitutional lawyers, experts in infrastructure, security issues, and international relations. The chairman of the Association (its authorized representative) is Tomáš Kulman.
The
Association strives to create a discussion platform that seeks to analyze in a
structured way
the cultural, historical, global political, economic, defense, and security aspects of the Central European area with regard to its possible
future state-law structure.
The
debate has been initiated with regard to the fact that the global political
situation
in Europe is changing and, regardless of the opinions of its
populations, the great powers are not only thinking about re-organizing this
area but also planning it to some extent, of course, to suit their own
interests. Therefore, the logic dictates that the countries of Central Europe
should take the initiative
and actively engage in the process of defining and
politically shaping this area in order to avoid being traumatized by "about us,
without us" decisions.
Currently, the Association published its collection of texts
entitled "Saint Adalbert and Central Europe",
in which it addresses the key
topic from various angles and aspects.
The activities of the Association are funded through donations from
Czech legal entities and associations and by contributions from Czech endowment
funds and foundations;
the Society does not raise any funding abroad.
