Topic of the conference
Kostlán, Antonín
The issue of scientists in exile has been of interest primarily due to the large wave of emigration which ensued in Europe in the face of the Nazi regime. However, other waves of emigration and exile in 20th century Europe, such as those evoked by European and non-European authoritarian regimes and dictatorships or other malignant political developments, have so far escaped more detailed attention.

Czech scholars in exile, 1948-1989
Kostlán, Antonín
Czechoslovakia in the years 1948-1989, represented one of the countries of the Soviet power bloc where the development of research was in many ways supported by the country's government, but at the same time subjected to various restrictions and strong political pressure. The paper focuses on the main characteristic features of the emigration of scientists and intellectuals in the period of the communist regime and presents the results of an analysis of departure of the workers of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences to exile. It tries to estimate the overall extent of this emigration, deliberates about the further careers of exile scholars and introduces an attempt of exile typology.

Cuban students in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s - 1980s
Bortlová, Hana
In the sixties, seventies and eighties, i. e. period of close political and economic ties between Cuba and the Soviet bloc, about a thousand Cubans took advantage of the scholarship offer of the Czechoslovak government and graduated from Czech and Slovak universities (and to a much lesser extent from high schools). After returning to Cuba many of them took up leading positions in state enterprises or institutions where some of them have been active till today. Based on archival sources (mainly from the National Archives in Prague) and oral-history interviews conducted with former scholarship holders of the Czechoslovak government in Cuba in 2009, this text presents some aspects of life of Cuban students in the Czechoslovak society of that time.
