The guide has been prepared to meet the needs of foreign researchers who plan to come to UMCS to teach classes and to conduct research and development work.
The document contains useful information concerning e.g. the formalities connected with arrival to Poland and registration for residence, as well as information about the University and ways of spending free time in Lublin and around.
The need to prepare such a guide was diagnosed during a questionnaire survey carried out by the International Cooperation Centre in 2020 among foreign researchers visiting UMCS at that time. They reported difficulties encountered while they were preparing for arrival to Poland and after they arrived. The goal of the guide is to encourage foreign scientists to come to UMCS and to facilitate their quick inclusion into the UMCS community. The guide addresses the problem of insufficient support with formal matters and inadequate information on living issues and administrative formalities at the University.
The Project was financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange under the Welcome to Poland Programme (2020).
The project manager is Dr. Ewelina Panas - the Rector's Plenipotentiary for internationalization of education.
