The meeting entitled “Who Benefits from the Polish-American Academic Exchange?” is open to all interested, including those who plan to apply and those who want to learn more about the Fulbright scholarship. It is an excellent opportunity to listen to the stories of former scholarship holders and learn about the application process and the benefits of participating in an academic exchange.

The discussion will feature:

• Professor Ewa Syta – Chair of Computer Science at Trinity College (Hartford, Connecticut), this year's Fulbright U.S. Scholar at NASK – National Research Institute in Warsaw;
• Professor Marta Soniewicka – Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Law and Administration at the Jagiellonian University, graduate of the Fulbright Senior Award 2010–2011 at Boston University;
• Dr Joanna Szuszkiewicz – senior scientist at Ryvu Therapeutics, graduate of the Fulbright Junior Research Award 2020–2021 at Yale University;
• Łukasz Chyla – Fulbright Ambassador in Krakow, graduate of the Fulbright Junior Research Award 2022–2023 at Columbia Law School in New York.

The session moderator will be Anna Kertyczak, member of the Polish-US Fulbright Commission.

Participation in the meeting is free and does not require registration.

The Fulbright Program was established in 1946. It is the largest academic exchange and cultural programme in the United States. Its graduates include 62 Nobel Prize winners and 89 Pulitzer Prize winners. The Fulbright Program has been operating in Poland since 1959 and has over 5,000 graduates, who often emphasise that it has simply changed their lives. This group includes, among others, former US Ambassador to Poland Mark Brzezinski, who first came to Warsaw in 1991 as a Fulbright Scholar.
