Szczepanik was founder and Chairman of the Polish ''Institute for Research into National Affairs'' (Instytut Badań Zagadnień Krajowych) in London during [[1951]] to [[1953]] and [[1983]] to [[1986]]. While in [[Rome]], [[Italy]] from [[1963]] to [[1977]] he was also the Polish representative to the [[Holy See|Vatican]], one of only two states that still continued its relations with the [[Polish government in exile]]. He was director of the Council for Understanding Research on Poles Living Abroad (Rada Porozumiewawcza Badań nad Polonia). He was President of the [[Polish Society of Arts and Sciences Abroad]] (Polskie Towarzystwo Naukowe na Obczyźnie - PTNO) in London from [[1981]]. In [[1981]] he became the ''Minister of Home Affairs'' of the [[Polish government in exile]]. On [[April 7]], [[1986]] he was chosen as a successor of [[Kazimierz Sabbat]] as the [[Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland|Prime Minister]] of that government. After Sabbat's death, his successor as the president of Poland in exile [[Ryszard Kaczorowski]] asked him to continue his mission. It ended in [[1990]] when Szczepanik’s cabinet advised the last President in Exile to accept the invitation of the Speaker of the Senate in [[Poland]] to go to [[Warsaw]] and transfer the Flag and other pre-war insignia of office to [[Lech Wałęsa]] as the “President of the Republic elected by Polish people in free general elections”.
