For this branch of our activity we received a nomination for a prestigious award The Polityka Passport in 2003. We have also organized two international academic conferences: one for production designing group FIRT/IFTR entitled Tradition and Innovation in Theatre Design: Concepts, Trends and Technologies (June 2001 - Jagiellonian University, Kraków), the other one entitled Fictional/Real in Contemporary Theatre (November 2005 - Jagiellonian University, Kraków).

We have also carried out two projects in cooperation with The Goethe Institute in Kraków (Hesse für Junge Leute, directed by M.
