Long abstract

Kulczycki will argue, using over 100 years of experience from Eastern Europe (especially Poland), that metascience has been used as a crucial instrument for national integration and states’ modernization. He will highlight how the implementation of metascience after the First World War and 80 years later during the post-communist transition played a key role in reforming the scientific sector and aligning it with broader socio-economic objectives.
