About us

The Ad Meliora Tempora Foundation


Ad Meliora Tempora — the Foundation’s motto, calling on us to change the world and to meet within it. Change means continuous improvement, growth, discovery, creativity and, ultimately, innovation.

This is the task set by its founder, Eugeniusz Boćko, and carried out by teams of people from around the world — mainly from Poland, but also from Brazil and the United States — depending on the needs and objectives of each project.
