The article refers to the publication titled Z wędrówek i przyjazni naukowych: Francja, included in the fi rst volume of the collection Zagraniczne peregrynacje i przyjaznie naukowe polskich uczonych (Cracow 2008). Its author, on the basis of his own experience from the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, describes how difficult it was to obtain access to foreign literature and presents the first attempts to establish contact with researchers – mainly historians or specifi cally historians of law - from behind the “Iron Curtain”, which became feasible aft er 1956. He underlines that for a long time academic contact with researchers from West Germany concerned the Middle Ages and the period until the end of the 18th century since those were the epochs which generated fewest conflicts – particularly when compared with the times of WWII. The author recollects his first visits to France in the 1960s, the first contacts with academics from Germany (i.e. Hans Thieme, Hermann Conrad, Eberhard L. F. Schmidt), which for a long time were maintained only via correspondence. He shares his reflections connected with research missions first to the German Democratic Republic, and next – from the beginning of the 1980s – to the Federal Republic of Germany; he presents the institutions he visited (i.e. the Herder Institute in Marburg, the Herzog-August-Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, the Max-Planck Institute in Frankfurt am Main, the Centre for Eastern Studies in Lüneburg) and the contact with Polish researchers maintained by those institutions. He also mentions papers he read, discussions inspired by them and issues explored. The author’s memoirs focus around some outstanding academic representatives from East Germany (i.e. Rolf Lieberwirth, Walter Markov, Rudolf Forberger, Gustav Seeber, Eduard Merian, Heinrich Scheel or Johannes Kalisch) and West Germany (i.e. Dieter Simon, Walther Wilhelm, Heinz Monhaupt, Karl Dedecius, Peter Hartmann, Peter Baumgart, Klaus Zernack and many others) whom he met during his numerous research trips. The article also contains remarks about French historiography and the author’s participation in the work of the Committee of Historians of the People’s Republic of Poland and the German Democratic Republic, the Committee for School Coursebooks of the People’s Republic of Poland and the German Democratic Republic, and his final visits to a united Germany in the 1990s; he also notes the difficulties which Polish historians encountered in the German publishing industry, and the varying attitude of German historians from various generations towards the question of Nazism and Prussian traditions.

Since the dissolution of the USSR, students from Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova have been able to study at Polish universities on the basis of bilateral agreements between the Polish government and the governments of the respective countries. The purpose of this article is to analyse the legal basis enabling the citizens of these three countries to obtain education in Poland, analyse the numbers of such students and the principles and procedures they followed to begin studies at Polish universities in 1993–2014. The research hypothesis is as follows: the range of scholarships offered has contributed to an increase in the number of students from Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova at Polish universities. The following research methods were used in this study: analysis of source materials, comparative analysis and statistical data analysis. Analysis of data for the relevant period demonstrated a systematic year-to-year increase in the number of citizens of these three countries arriving to study in Poland. The largest group of students arrived from Ukraine and the smallest – from Moldova. In 1997, the largest share of students of Polish descent was among the students from Belarus, and in 2013 – among the students from Ukraine. The number of government scholarships for Belarusian, Ukrainian and Moldavian students increased, particularly after the launch of the Eastern Partnership. Initially, the greatest number of scholarships were awarded to students from Ukraine, and as of the academic year 2006/2007 – to students from Belarus. Moldavian students received the fewest scholarships. Initially, students from Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova did not undertake paid-for studies. This situation changed after Poland’s inclusion in the EU structures. Starting from the academic year 2006/2007, the number of students undertaking paid-for studies increased systematically, particularly in the case of Ukrainian students. In the case of Belarus and Moldova, the number of scholarship holders and those studying free of charge was higher than the number of students paying for their education. However, the situation was different in the case of Ukrainian students. In 2000/2001, relatively few students undertook paid-for education. In the academic year 2013/2014, the situation reversed. Scholarship holders from Ukraine accounted for a small percentage of students, as did those studying free of charge. Students paying their tuition fees were a predominant group – 76.35% of the total number of university students from Ukraine. Availability of scholarships had a significant impact on the arrivals of Belarusian and Moldovian citizens, but did not contribute to an increase in the number of Ukrainian students.

After regaining independence, in 1918–1939 there was a rapid development of scientific culture in Poland. The aim was to recreate the network of Polish scientific institutions, to create new centers from scratch and to increase the number of scientific staff. Efforts were also made to include the Polish scientific community in world science. Cultural relations with other countries were maintained, inter alia, by implementing the provisions and conventions on intellectual cooperation signed by Poland with other countries. These documents also included issues related to teaching. The aim of the presented study is to show students’ scholarship exchange, first of all granting scholarships to foreign students during the interwar period by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Education. The basis of the research are mainly archival sources concerning the initiation and support of scholarship activities, collected in Central Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw. Analysis of the sources made it possible to develop a preliminary chara-cterization of these initiatives.

Krzysztof Śmietana le¢ Poland in 1980 to study in London as the only recipient of the British Petroleum Scholarship who was not a British national. A¢er returning to Poland in December 1981 to spend Christmas with his family, martial law was suddenly imposed and Śmietana was denied the right to leave for London and told his studies there had concluded. Fortunately, a friend helped him return to London where he subsequently expressed his outrage and sorrow, protesting against the regime in Poland during the „Medical Support for Poland” concert. Back in Great Britain, his artistry was quickly realised. He was invited to perform in the most prestigious halls and appeared on BBC Radio 3 with the highest appreciation in many critics’ reviews. roughout many of these concerts Śmietana had brought to light concertos by Szymanowski and Panufnik, was guest concertmaster of orchestras such as the LSO – PROMS at the Royal Albert Hall are examples of his abundant successes. e family from whom he rented a room were so full of admiration for his artistic endeavours that they made a beautiful 18th Century Neapolitan violin available for Śmietana. Owing to his clarity of musical ideas and ample attention to detail, Krzysztof Śmietana has reached the summits of classical music and taken his place among the very best.

The massification of higher education has changed the role and value of study and led to dissemination of doctoral studies. This article starts with an overview of the law-based and historical changes of the idea of third cycle studies, reflected in their organisation in Poland. We will indicate incoherence noticeable between curriculum and expected skills and knowledge. The perspective will let us outline some problems related to importance and significance of PhD studies in graduates careers – academic, as well as professional in general. In this context, we can also perceive current consequences in terms of identity of doctoral students and their place at the university.

Lublin youth studying at higher education facilities in Kraków, Warsaw and Lviv after 1905 formed self-help organisations called Mutual Aid Societies, whose task was to provide permanent and planned material assistance for students from Lublin in need. The oldest one was the Hieronim Łopaciński Mutual Aid Society of Lublin Youth Educated at Higher Academic Establishments in Kraków (in June 1912 the name was changed to Hieronim Łopaciński Brotherly Help for Lublin Youth in Kraków). The project for its establishment was created at the end of 1908, statutes were drawn up the following year, and on 14 April 1910 the Society was legalised by the N.XIII.L.1712/1 rescript issued by the Galician 13th Department of the Governorship in Lviv. Hieronim Rafał Łopaciński (1860–1906) became the patron of the Society. He was a teacher of classical languages at the Secondary School for Boys in Lublin, named after Stanisław Staszic, from which many of the Society students graduated. The Society consisted of: an honorary member (who was the Dean of the Faculty of Law at the Jagiellonian University, Franciszek Ksawery Fierich), founding members and ordinary members, entitled to apply for loans and scholarships. The board of directors and the Audit Committee were elected at the General Assemblies. The components of the fund available to the board were registration fees, contributions and donations, as well as money raised from the sale of paintings, artistic postcards, stamps, literary works and reports, organised theatrical performances, lotteries, concerts and cinema screenings. The documented activity of the Society is known for the years 1910–1913. No source materials have been found containing information about its activities after 1914.

Люблинская молодежь, учащаяся начиная с 1905 г. в университетах Кракова, Львова и Варшавы, создала организации самопомощи – «Общества взаимопомощи», задачей которых было оказание постоянной и плановой материальной помощи бедным студентам из Люблина. Старейшим было Общество взаимопомощи люблинской молодежи, учащейся в высших научных заведениях Кракова имени Иеронима Лопацинского (в июне 1912 г. его название было изменено на Братская помощь люблинской молодежи в Кракове имени Иеронима Лопацинского). Проект его учреждения был подготовлен в конце 1908 г., в следующем году разработан устав, а 14 IV 1910 г. Общество было узаконено рескриптом N.XIII.L.1712/1, изданным галицийским XIII департамен- том наместничества во Львове. Патроном Общества стал Иероним Рафал Лопацинский (1860–1906), преподаватель классических языков в мужской гимназии им. Станислава Сташича в Люблине, которую окончило большинство его членов. В состав Общества входили: почетный член (декан юридического факультета Ягеллонского университета Францишек Ксаверий Фиерих), члены-основатели и рядовые члены, имеющие право претендовать на кредиты и стипендии. Правление и Комитет по аудиту избирались на общем собрании. Денежный фонд пополнялся благодаря: вступительным взносам, взносам и пожертвованиям, а также средствам, полученным от продажи картин, худо- жественных открыток, марок, блокнотов, литературных произведений и репортажей, от организованных театральных представлений, лотерей, концертов и киносеансов. Известны документальные подтверждения деятельности Общества в 1910–1913 гг. Не найдено источников, содержащих сведения о его деятельности после 1914 г.
