eng Polish research on religion and its connections with the international religious studies organisations The Polish Society for the Study of Religions (Polish abbreviation: PTR) is a scientific society established in 1958 by a group of scholars of religious studies to propagate and deepen the knowledge of the field. Until 1963, the PTR led research via Ośrodek Badań Naukowych [Scientific Research Centre]. In 1960, it took over the “Euhemer. Przegląd Religioznawczy” journal, previously published by the Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (from 1992 renamed as “Przegląd Religioznawczy”). Since 1963, the PTR has been affiliated to the Polish Academy of Sciences. From the beginning, the PTR was dominated by Marxist scholars. Official documents stated that the Society is based on the concepts of historical materialism, secular ideology, and is working alongside with organisations supporting the secularisation of the society. From 1970 (Congress in Stockholm), the PTR has been affiliated to the IAHR. Witold Tyloch (1927 – 1990) was one of the most active representatives of the Polish religious studies within the IAHR, and was the main organiser of the IAHR’s Second Methodological Conference that took place in 1979 in Warsaw (Current Progress in the Methodology of the Science of Religion, ed. Witold Tyloch,Warsaw 1984), and of another one organised in cooperation with the IAHR in 1989 with main theme: Religious Studies in the Context of Social Sciences. Methodological and Theoretical Reports (Polish Society for the Science of Religions, Warsaw 1990). In 2005, a conference was organised with the cooperation of the Institute for the History of Religion (Jagiellonian University) and the IAHR, during which EASR (European Association for the Study of Religions) was established (with the notable effort of M. Pye). First EASR president was Giulia Gasparro, with Halina Grzymała-Moszczyńska as the vice president. During the IAHR Congress in Toronto in 2010, the organisation ISORECEA initiated in Poland was accepted.
