Recently, another visit of Professor Anselm, Jünemann a Visiting Professor at the Medical University of Lublin, came to an end at the Department of General Ophthalmology. During his visit, Professor conducted didactic classes for the students of the Faculty of Medicine, to introduce them to the latest developments in ophthalmology. The students admit that this form of classes is very interesting and inspiring for them as they can familiarize themselves with educational methods used in Germany.
The visit of Prof. Jünemann also had a scientific character. Professor held a series of meetings with scientists from the Medical University and Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (Lublin), during which various aspects of scientific cooperation were discussed. It is worth mentioning that the history of this international cooperation has lasted for over 20 years and is exceptionally fruitful. 
Thanks to the personal commitment of Professor Jünemann many Polish researchers have been able to train and carry out experimental work in Germany. Professor Juenemann also took part in the PARENT/BRIDGE grant („The role of tryptophan and its metabolites in physiology and pathology of ocular surface”, beneficiary: Anna Woźniak MD, PhD) awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science. 
Polish ophthalmologists could also benefit from internships in Germany and improve their surgical skills. This allowed them to publish many papers in renowned scientific journals. Numerous doctoral and habilitation thesis were written. This also contributed to a better development of Lublin’s ophthalmological science.
