Jarosław Jaros - BALLADA O ZŁYM KRÓLU
Jerzy Wojciech Łukaszewski (born 21 July 1924 in Terebierzów, in Poland at that time, in Belarus today) is a Polish-born academic and former diplomat. He taught at the College of Europe in Bruges from 1961 to 1990 and served as its rector from 1972 to 1990. From 1990 to 1996, he was Polish ambassador to France.
Łukaszewski studied at the University of Poznań where he obtained a doctorate in law and a Master in economical and political sciences. His subsequent academic, administrative and diplomatic career included:
1951-1957, assistant and lecturer at the Catholic University of Lublin.
1959-1961, international civil servant at the International Labour Organization in Genève. The Polish government objected to his appointment, because he was not nominated officially by Poland. He was forced to resign and decided not to return to Poland. He was accepted in Belgium as a political refugee and obtained the Belgian naturalization.
1963-1972, lecturer in political sciences at the College of Europe.
1967-1985, professor at the Law Faculty of Namur.
1972-1990, rector of the College of Europe, succeeding to Hendrik Brugmans. He was active in enlarging the College and accepting a growing number of students (59 in 1972 - 200 in 1990).
