The following year, capitalizing on the desperate post-war conditions within Poland, the Council established Anglo-Polish exchanges in the fields of medicine and science, with the goal of both assisting in the rebuilding of Polish medical life and asserting British influence in Central Europe, whilst drawing on pre-existing Anglo-Polish medical ties that dated back to the pre-war period. What were the practical justifications for the visits from both British and Polish perspectives, and what purpose did they serve as a form of scientific diplomacy and cultural propaganda? This chapter will explore the organisation, the reception, and the substance of these exchanges, and the British and Polish scientists who participated in them, between 1947-1956.</p></description> </descriptions> </resource>
