The paper discusses the friendly ties and collaboration between two eminent scientists, Albert Einstein and Maria Sklodowska-Curie. They collaborated not so much in strictly scientific matters, but rather in the field of scientists' organizations on the international forum. Such a forum was provided by the League of Nations, and in particular the International Committee for Intellectual Cooperation (Commission Internationale de la Cooperation Intellectuelle / CICI), a 12-member advisory body of the League. The task of the Committee was to work together with interested member-states in order to further ties of peaceful cooperation between them in the field of culture and science. The members of the Committee included eminent personalities, among them Maria Sklodowska-Curie and Albert Einstein. Very little is known about their work and collaboration within the CICI, but it is certainly a topic worth investigating, especially in view of the international importance of the scientific achievements of the two personages.

The paper presents a review of how the news of the second Nobel Prize awarded to Maria Sklodowska-Curie, and of the slander campaign launched against her in connection with rumours concerning the awarding of the prize, was reported in the Polish press between September and December 1911; the study is based on materials found in the libraries of Warsaw and Wrocław. The major national dailies reported both aspects of the news, while provincial dailies concentrated only on the slander campaign. Some papers failed to report the news altogether. Only a number of weeklies carried news of the Nobel Prize, and monthlies that did publish articles on radioactivity did not mention the Nobel Prize.
