Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on one of the elements in Czechoslovak cultural agreements that were entered into with “Third World Countries” from the 1950s. These agreements included training for foreign students, both in the form of grants for studying in Czechoslovakia, and the dispatch of Czechoslovak scholars abroad. These scholars were sent not only from higher education institutes, but also from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (CSAS). This study focuses on CSAS scholars who worked in Iraq in the 1960s.
