AGH University of Krakow is a member of the prestigious European EURAXESS network, which supports international researchers and their institutions in terms of mobility and career development. The European network EURAXESS - Researchers in Motion, has been operating since 2004 in 43 countries. AGH University has thus joined the group of Polish institutions associated in the EURAXESS network, whose activities in Poland are coordinated by the National Academic Exchange Agency. EURAXESS membership enables participation in European initiatives, projects, and events and networking with the international community.
Thanks to the cooperation and membership in EURAXESS, the University will be able to provide increasingly better support and career development to international researchers. The activities of the EURAXESS network at AGH University are coordinated by the Centre for International Affairs as part of the existing Welcome Point - an information and advisory centre where our guests receive comprehensive assistance and support on various issues related to moving to Krakow.
