Summary/Abstract: The publication ”And the spring is still flowing…’Solidarity’ at the University of Silesia between 1980 and 2020" presents the history of ISGTU ”Solidarity” at the University, the circumstances of creating its structures, specific activities undertaken for the democratization of the country and the academic community. It also shows the mechanisms of repression applied to the union during the material law period, especially numerous internments. The analyses were based on private materials (mainly correspondence) and documents preserved in the Department Committee and press releases (including interviews) and studies on the history of the University of Silesia. The genesis of ISGTU ”Solidarity” at the University of Silesia was presented in the context of national events. The current organization of the union and its functioning in the years 1989–2020 was also described.
