Summary/Abstract: In 2021 the academic community of economists in Szczecin celebrate their 75th anniversary. In autumn 1946 the first higher school in the post-war history of Szczecin was established: a Division of Academy of Commerce in Poznań, later transformed into autonomous Academy of Commerce. Its continuation were subsequent scientific units: Higher School of Economics (1950–1955), Faculty of Engineering and Economics of Transport of Technical University of Szczecin (1955–1985), and from 1985 faculty/faculties of economics operating within University of Szczecin (from autumn 2019 the joint faculty is named Faculty of Economics, Finance and Management). In this article an attempt is made to review main facts of the development of science of economy and higher economic education in Szczecin in the years 1946–2021. Particularly, the author’s intent is to mention names of contributors, mainly professors, who in this period mostly influenced the shape and position of the Szczecin centre of economic sciences, by creating scientific schools and educating successors, by their scientific research, publications, contacts with foreign centres and with economic practice, among others.
