Today was a day of meetings. Two of these were especially important. In the early afternoon the U.S. Ambassador to Poland, Mr. Paul W. Jones (on the left in the first picture), met scholars of different American programs. On behalf of Fulbright Alumnia Association as well as Lodz University of technology I have invited Mr. Ambassador to a conference (that is being organized with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education at the end of September)  on the role of women is science. Earlier today Lodz, and also TUL, visited Mr. Mahommed A. Khorsheed (in the middle on the second picture), the owner and CEO of Global Oil Center, a company from Kuwait. Discussion give hope for the implementation of scientific and even educational cooperation.
