Relations of the Catholic University of Lublin with Foreign Countries during the Polish People’s Republic

Summary/Abstract: The gradually developing international contacts of our University were interrupted during the war and occupation and between 1944 and 1956 reduced to a minimum. A certain breakthrough came in 1957, so times just after years of Stalinist terror, which coincided with the election of Fr. Prof. Marian Rechowicz for the rector of the Catholic University of Lublin. And although he strove with unprecedented determination, to guide KUL into the orbit of international scientific structures, it was not until the rector ship of Fr. Mieczysław A. Krąpiec that KUL became universally open to international cooperation. This cooperation has been realized on many levels, the most important being: the affiliation of the Catholic University of Lublin to a number of university organizations, the increasing participation of KUL professors in congresses and symposia of international character, the organization of such undertakings in Lublin, cooperation with universities and foreign scientific institutes, exchanges of professors and students in respect of signed agreements, visits and speeches of esteemed guests as well as participation in various foundations and scholarships of scientific, cultural or humanitarian profile.
