Robert Tomczak

I am a historian and a fellow researcher at the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. I am a former recipient of the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship (post-doc at Basel University 2019/2020). My research interests include Polish and Czech history; the history of universities; peregrinatio academica in early modern times; alba amicorum; the history of Polish-Irish relations, as well as biography, genealogy and heraldry. I specialise in the analysis of late medieval and early modern historical sources. I am the author of "Kontakty edukacyjne Polaków z uniwersytetami praskimi w XVI-XVIII wieku" [Early modern education of the Poles at universities in Prague] and co-author (with Adam A. Kucharski) of "East Central Europe and Ireland Political, Economic, and Social Interconnections, 1000–1850", Brepols 2024.
