The aim of the competition is to support researchers on the subject of international migration from and to Poland and the Polish diaspora, who are at the initial stage of their academic career, and to promote the results of their scientific work.
The competition prizes were sponsored by Agnieszka Matejko, the daughter of Polish historian and activist Dr. Joanna Matejko, who researched the history of the Polish diaspora in Canada and the country’s immigration policy.
