We are pleased to announce that in 2022, within the scope of the program of The Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) ‘Solidary with Belarus – Solidary with Scientists’, the Institute of Slavic Studies PAS will host five researchers from Belarus.

The objective of the ‘Solidary with Scientists’ measure is to enable researchers from Belarusian universities and scientific institutions who hold the degree of PhD or higher to visit Polish higher education and scientific institutions. The program is an expression of solidarity with the Belarusian academic community. Aside from the didactic/scientific purposes, it is intended to support researchers from Belarus by enabling them to conduct high-level research at Polish institutions and teach without restrictions.

In the Institute of Slavic Studies PAS scientists will implement the following research projects:

1. „Printing houses in Minsk of the early twentieth century, their institutional, technological and creative frameworks”
2. “Russian classical literature in World cinema”
3. “The period of the Nazi occupation in the memories of the inhabitants of northern Belarus villages”
4. „The Political Crisis, Church and State: the Response from the Orthodox and Catholic Churches to the Civil Unrest in Belarus”
5. “Anti-Soviet insurgent and partisan movement in Belarus. 1918-1939: searching for and shaping the base of Polish historical sources “
