Dear Doctor, Warsaw, August 20th, 2008

INDEX COPERNICUS WITH GOOGLE INC.

Index Copernicus International (NC: INDEXCOP – ICI) would like to announce that on Tuesday, August 19th, has received an agreement signed with Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) for cooperation on the digitization of scholarly journal archives.

The goal of this agreement is to help provide visibility to research contributions in less well-known publications that have as yet remained limited to printed copies accessible only to a few researchers. As a part of this agreement, Index Copernicus will work with journal publishers that it has relationships with and will facilitate the collation, transportation and storage of print and digitized issues. The digitization will be done by Google at its cost. The digitized journals will be hosted by Google and will be included in Google search services.

Index Copernicus expects that this arrangement will increase the popularity of its services to publishers of scholarly journals. Index Copernicus's services include a hosting platform for journals as well as a proprietary system for assessment and ranking of journals.

Google Scholar is Google's free Internet service for searching scientific publications. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.

Google's innovative search technologies connect millions of people around the world with information every day. Founded in 1998 by Stanford Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google today is a top web property in all major global markets. Google's targeted advertising program provides businesses of all sizes with measurable results, while enhancing the overall web experience for users. Google is headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. For more information, visit www.google.com.

Index Copernicus is an online research infrastructure and network of more than 300.000 scientists around the world. Index Copernicus evaluates the academic achievements of individual scientists through the US patent pending methodology of multi-parameter evaluation of their scientific careers. Based on the results achieved by individual scientists, the system provides extensive analysis of the research potential of scientific institutions. This part of the system is invaluable for the evidence-based financing process of grant applications and other research projects. For more information, visit www.indexcopernicus.com.

On August 10th Index Copernicus International S.A. has signed an investment agreement with Platforma Mediowa Point Group S.A. (GPW: POINTGROUP – PGM). Under the agreement, PMPG will acquire shares in ICI and become strategic investor of ICI. PMPG SA is one of the fastest growing Polish companies operating in the media and publishing as well as marketing and advertising segments, quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
