How- ever, it is possible to notice some common areas of academic relations. The chief point of reference to these considerations will be the staff of the Jagiellonian University. On the threshold of Poland’s independence, the common ground for cooperation were the Paris and Riga Conferences, the Bureau of Congress Work at the Polish Delegation, and the Polish-Soviet Joint Re-evacuation and Special Committees. The Jagiellonian University graduates and staff took up administrative positions at the diplomatic posts in Moscow and Paris. Contacts were established between universities, professors and students. Scholarships were given and anniversaries of universities and other academic institutions were observed. A great number of people who graduated from the Polish universities in Galicia continued their education in Paris. Likewise, graduates from the universities of the Russian Empire went on to study in Kraków or the Third Republic.
