«It was not for nothing that Mykhailo Hrushevskyi mentioned that Ostroh Academy during the 16th-17th centuries was known as "the first centre of new education, new schools, new spiritual life". We can imagine what Ostroh Academy was like 445 years ago if the Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarch Cyril Lucaris  was elected as its rector. Our today's forum is, first of all, the task and duty to arouse the interest of political, public, cultural figures and especially scientists for a deep study of the history of the Ostroh Academy and the Ostroh principality. Dear colleagues, our measure provides for discussions, congratulations, wishes. Therefore, let's make this work!»
