Kuyavia (sometimes spelt Cuyavia, Polish Kujawy) is a historical region of Poland, between the Vistula to the east and Noteć river to the west and between Noteć and Krówka river to the south.
The political history of Kuyavia is as complicated as the one of nearby Masovia.
In 1332 the area of Kuyavia was conquered by the Teutons who controlled it until 1343.
A sejmik (diminutive of the Polish sejm, or parliament) was a regional sejm in the pre-partition Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and earlier in the Kingdom of Poland.

In 1177, a rebellion by the barons of Lesser Poland against Mieszko III the Old led to the elevation of Casimir to the ducal throne of Kraków.
In order to end internal conflicts within the decentralised Polish state, Casimir distributed lands to his nephews: Poznań to Otto, son of Mieszko the Old; Kuyavia to Leszek; Silesia to Boleslaus the Tall; Bytom, Racibórz, Oświęcim, and Siewierz to Mieszko; and Głogów to Conrad.
Mieszko the Old was forced to give up Greater Poland to Otto.

The results of their research work were made available to other students, thus broadening the circle of those who got an opportunity to become interested in the topic.
Thus the project idea was born to investigate whether Poles and Germans living in Kuyavia at that time had been loyal neighbours or enemies.
He had visited Kuyavia a couple of years ago and had handed over his memoirs to Mr Edmund Mikołajczak, the teacher who was supervising this project.
Broadband Communication Network of Kuyavia and Pomerania Region (K-PSI) was founded as a result of co-operation of 3 entities: Kuyavia and Pomerania Voivodship, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun and University of Technology and Agriculture in Bydgoszcz.
The main priority of K-PSI defined by its founders, is to build modern, broadband infrastructure in the region, which is crucial for its development, boosting its attractiveness and improving competitiveness.
However, on defining the project, a possibility of making use of already existing infrastructure (built on a basis of academic and scientific PIONIER programme) was taken into consideration.

The main directions for building Broadband Communication Network are highlighted in the Regional Strategy of Innovation of Kuyavia and Pomerania Voivodship.
The main field of regional action of K-PSI includes: building and exploitation of non-profit communication network for public administration, schools, hospitals, libraries, public emergency institutions providing partner institutions and organizations (mostly the Regional Networks of: Telemedicine, Libraries, GIS, Innovation Centers, Enterprise Development Centers,) with support in order to facilitate access to IT and related services.
Programme titled “Kuyavia and Pomerania e-Region” was accepted by Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship Authorities as a base for “E-Region Innovation Strategy for the years 2007-2013”.
Another very important step in the TRB research, mainly in the regions of Kuyavia and Great Poland, is made thanks to works by A. Kośko and other representatives of the so-called Kuyavia School.
The information gap between the Kuyavia region and the Doer river territories, due to the lack of more important excavation research, leads to deforming of the general picture and, consequently, to the false estimation of the role of Great Poland and Kuyavia in the TRB development.
Therefore, one of the most urgent postulates should be to undertake excavation works on a large scale in the Great Poland Lowland and the publication of its results.

It means — unlike some archaeologists claim — that the occupation of Chełmno Land was of a fully stabilised character, basically not differing from the one known from Kuyavia and Wielkopolska.
It is likely, that the site could be compared with sites known from Kuyavia: Brześć Kujawski, Osłonki of Krusza Zamkowa.
Some architectonic details (the supposed arcade, the structure of the narrower gable wall, the elongation of the side walls of the wider gable) make a distinction between the foundation ditches from Bukowiec, and the published objects from Kuyavia.
