With this paper we try to contribute to the debate on the nature of research intensive universities and the chances to create this type of institution in Poland. Research universities are presented as elite, flagship institutions for educating students mostly at the doctoral level and to produce the bulk of the research output. Examples of world-class research intensive universities from various countries are presented. It is shown that intensified competition among universities exists to prove their performance through global university league tables or ranking exercises and it is discussed whether Poland is at the stage to create at least one such institution playing important role in that competition. We argue that the establishment of a University of the Polish Academy of Sciences could be a solution. This University stands to become a unique research institution in Poland and one of very few establishments of its type in Central and Eastern Europe. The University will conduct scientific research and provide programs of the highest standard, exploiting the research and teaching potential of the PAS institutes as well as the competence and experience of members of the Academy's corporation. It is intended as a higher education institution with a decentralized organizational structure, based on the PAS research institutes. The University of the Polish Academy of Sciences will have a quality-boosting impact on the PAS institutes as well as initiate their consolidation and reorganization in the field of teaching.

Introduction of the martial law in Poland, repressions against political opposition and limitations of civic freedoms strongly affected Polish-French scientific and cultural relations. Representatives of French intellectual elite protested against persecution of their colleagues, actively involved in the activities of political opposition. events organized by the Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Centre and the Polish Institute in Paris were boycotted. Some cultural manifestations initiated by Polish authorities were challenged by new circles of “Solidarity” political emigration. In the years 1981-1983, official exchange was going through crisis. Some change for the better was noticed in the second half of the 80s. Scientific and cultural exchange was going on more often aside from the planned schedules. This way, French authorities were able to select interesting, in their opinion, partners also among those recruiting from the Polish opposition. The first attempt to abandon isolation in official cultural relations between Poland and France wasan exhibition put on from june 21 to September 26 1983 in the Centre Pompidou in Paris, called “Polish Appearances”. In the 80s France loses its former strong position as a destination of scientific trips. first of all, the potential for co-operation in traditional fields in the humanities and sociology was exhausted. With time, the role of these fields in mutual co-operation diminished in favour of scientific disciplines, technical or medical science. It appears that in this scope France could offer less to Polish scientists than West Germany.

The bill aims to introduce new rules for the remuneration of researchers employed at the units of the Polish Academy of Science. In the opinion of the authors, the proposed introduction of an analogous method of remuneration for these employees as is the case of other public universities raises significant doubts due to the scope of duties of employees of public universities, which is broader compared to the didactic activities of employees of scientific units of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

The author presented reasons and the methods of regulating norms of ethics for the academic workers. He also analysed the solutions proposed in the statute about Polish Academy of Sciences and the executory order, which are forming The Committee of Ethics in Science as a part of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and adopted by the Committee the Code of Ethics for Academic Workers. This analysis led the author to the conclusion that the powers of the Committee are contrary to the Constitution and the provisions of the Code concerning the disciplinary liability of the research fellows are not harmonised with the legal regulations and can bear the hallmarks of breaching the Constitution.

A draft of the changes to the Polish Academy of Sciences is presented, which will increase its prestige and make better use of the scientific potential of the members of the Academy and the employees of its institutes. The proposed regulations will allow for a comprehensive activation of potential of both institutes and corporate members. The aim of reform is to make the PAS an attractive scientific institution with a focus on the pursuit of fundamental research at the highest level, and to recognize that understanding and clarification of the problem must precede possible applications.

The aim of the article is to present the activities of foreign scientific centres of the Polish Academy of Sciences on the examples of three out of six operating centers: the center in Vienna, Paris and the Polish Science Contact Agency PolSCA PAN in Brussels. The authors of the article combine their own experiences of the former directors of the centers: in Vienna, Paris and Brussels to reflect critically on the place and role of these centers in the scientific-research area. They point to centers’ enormous and diverse potential for disseminating and promoting the achievements of scientists, not fully recognized and used by the scientific community. Taking into account the specifics of each institution, the authors describe the ways of optimal use of their cultural and social capital, and identify common structural problems they encountered during their tenure. The article consists of the following elements: an introduction, an extensive authorial analysis of each station's activities, prepared in the form of a case study and a summary with conclusions

The text is a developed and supplemented record of many hours of conversation between Prof. Irena Wojnar, the oldest employee of the Faculty of Education at the University of Warsaw, and Dr. Adam Fijałkowski, the current editor-in-chief of “The Pedagogical Quarterly”. The authors focus on trying to characterize and evaluate the academic achievements of Prof. Czesław Kupisiewicz (1924–2015). On the basis of her own memories, Prof. Wojnar discusses the pedagogical views and organizational assumptions of Prof. Kupisiewicz – including his assumptions of pedagogy of culture and the humanistic education, the role of international cooperation, his role in publishing a series of books and journals.

At the beginning of the 60s, the development of Polish-Italian cultural, scientific and technical-scientifi c relations, that already emerged long before, was strengthened. The relevance of those ties was shown by signing on March 25, 1965 of a bilateral cultural agreement (convention, ratified not until 1969) and inter-governmental agreement on technical-scientific co-operation (February 27, 1960). From the very beginning of this period, cultural, scientifi c and technical-scientifi c co-operation programmes were signed. Bilateral co-operation was taking place also beyond the offi cial framework of inter-governmental programmes. An important sign of enlivening of these relations was the opening of an Italian reading room in Warsaw in 1965. The main Polish People’s Republic’s institution dealing with promotion of Polish culture, science and technology in Italy was The Scientifi c Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences, vigorously directed by Professor Bronisław Biliński. From the turn of the 50s and 60s, Polish-Italian cultural contacts were becoming more and more intensive. Polish theatre, cinematography, the arts, classical music and ballet stayed in Italy for good. They gained wide recognition, which were proved by numerous prizes at festivals organised in Italy. More and more fruitful were Polish-Italian scientifi c and technical-scientifi c contacts. Polish and Italian scientists were obtaining opportunities to participate in bilateral scientifi c exchange and visit both countries. In this period relations were established, i.a., among the Polish Academy of Sciences, Italian Accademia dei Lincei and National Council for Scientific Research (CNR), between the Polish Federation of Engineering Associations (NOT) and Federation of Scientific and Technical Associations in Milan (FAST), and between the Italian Atomic Energy Committee (CNEN) and Polish Government Plenipotentiary for Utilization of Atomic Energy. In addition, there was ongoing co-operation among universities of both countries.

In 2016 the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Research Centre for Mediterranean Archaeology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Zakład Archeologii Śródziemnomorskiej Polskiej Akademii Nauk) and 50th anniversary of the edition of the first volume of Études et Travaux took place. It is an opportunity to recall the story of the institution founded on the initiative of Prof. Kazimierz Michałowski, one of three key components constituting the ‘Polish school of Mediterranean archaeology’. The Centre’s scholars have participated in many archaeological missions conducted under the auspices of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology of the University of Warsaw. They carried out scientific projects connected with explored sites, but also various studies undertaken independently of the fieldwork. In addition to scientific research, scholarly editions, the lasting traces of their activity are popular scientific publications. In 2010, the Centre was combined with the Centre for Studies on Non-European Countries of the Polish Academy of Sciences and was thus transformed into the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Instytut Kultur Śródziemnomorskich i Orientalnych Polskiej Akademii Nauk).

The State Zoological Museum, established in 1928, inherited and developed the legacy of the Zoological Cabinet of the University of Warsaw (existing since 1818). The Cabinet’s collection had been gathered for decades and belonged to eminent personages not only in Poland but also in Europe. The Museum and its collections were threatened many times: first by a great fire in 1935, then by the German attack on Warsaw in 1939 and subsequent occupation, as well as by the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising and the destruction of the city. After the post-war reconstruction of the Museum, it was time to function in a new political reality, in which the most significant change for this institution was the establishment of the Polish Academy of Sciences. A planned inclusion of the State Zoological Museum in the structures of the newly-founded Polish Academy of Sciences meant that the scientists had to face a dilemma: in exchange for research funds and career development opportunities, they were expected to show favour to the communists and readiness to implement the idea of socialism. In the background of this process, numerous scientific conferences took place, where controversial visions of the future of biological sciences clashed. This process resulted in the transformation of the State Zoological Museum into the Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
