From 21 to 23 June, meetings took place in London as part of the Polonia Meetings event. The event was organised by the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) together with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London and the Polish Educational Society. In addition to meetings with Polish youth, the agenda included meetings with British universities, UK International Universities and the British Council. The Polish delegation consisted of representatives from various universities and academic institutions, including the Jagiellonian University, AGH University of Science and Technology, Gdansk University of Technology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and Wroc?aw Medical University. Our University was represented by Aleksandra Mirek-Rogowska from the International Cooperation Office. The aim of the trip was to promote Polish higher education and to establish cooperation with British educational partners.

On 21 June, the EDU&SCIENCE meeting was held at the British Council, where individual universities made presentations and participated in networking sessions with participants interested in studying in Poland and in academic cooperation. On 22 and 23 June, meetings were held with the Polish community, including the Polonia Picnic organised on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK) in London. These meetings allowed for direct discussions with young people, parents and educators.

The trip to London resulted in an exchange of experiences and the establishment of new contacts with British partners, which may lead to future research and educational projects. The presentations of Polish universities aroused great interest, which may attract more international students to Poland, and the participation in the family picnic strengthened relations with the Polish community in the UK. The importance of international promotion of Polish higher education and the need for further international cooperation was highlighted.
