The International Cooperation Centre of UMCS invites you to attend the 1st Staff Welcome Centers Forum.
The event will take place on May 15-16, 2025. This exceptional event will bring together representatives from the academic world, public administration, and experts involved in the development of the EURAXESS network from Poland and abroad, providing a platform for inspiring discussions, the exchange of experiences, and the establishment of valuable contacts.
During the event, participants will have the opportunity to take part in panel discussions that will address the latest challenges and prospects related to supporting international researchers at universities in Poland and abroad. Experienced speakers will share their insights on the role of supporting institutions and present examples of best practices from both Polish and international universities. There will also be opportunities for networking. Coffee breaks and a welcome lunch will create a friendly atmosphere for informal conversations, while an afternoon tour of Lublin will allow participants to discover the charm of this historic city and get to know each other in a more casual setting.
The second day of the event will be dedicated to workshops and the practical aspects of running Welcome Centers. Participants will be able to engage in a working session of the expert group International Staff Welcome Points, operating within the framework of the IROs Forum network, and also take part in intercultural communication workshops led by a renowned specialist in the field.
The event is organized as part of the GO INternational, go Great! project, aimed at the development of UMCS in the field of foreign staff support and enhancing research potential, within the Welcome to Poland NAWA program.
