}}The Australian Institute of Polish Affairs (AIPA) was founded in Australia in 1991 to foster relations between Poland and Australia. It is an independent, non-political, voluntary organisation that seeks to enhance current levels of Australian awareness of political, economic, social and cultural life in Poland today. Founded by leading members of the Polish Australian community, AIPA's roots derive significantly from the Solidarity movement in Poland. As a result, AIPA remains strongly committed to contemporary values of democracy and liberty. Because Australia is home to a considerable community of Jews who themselves, or whose families, came to Australia from Poland, AIPA also strives to promote dialogue and reconciliation between Polish Christians and Jewish Australians. To realise its core aims, AIPA has brought a significant number of leading Polish politicians, economists, activists, intellectuals as well as Polish and non-Polish experts on current Polish issues. (See below for a fuller list of AIPA guests). In conjunction with the visits, AIPA has arranged many lectures at leading Australian institutions and numerous public meetings with both Polish Australian and Jewish Australian communities (notably at the Melbourne Holocaust Centre and the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation). Furthermore, AIPA has consistently enabled direct encounters between its guests and influential Australians in government, media, the press, and education. In its early years, AIPA notably hosted Jan Karski, Jan Nowak-Jezioranski, Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, and Adam Michnik. Prof. Norman Davies, world-leading historian of Poland, has also been one of AIPA's eminent guests. AIPA has brought 4 former Polish Prime Ministers to Australia.
