Konrad Talmont-Kaminski - International Relations

International Relations As the faculty international relations coordinator it is my job to maintain and develop official research and exchange contacts between the Philosophy and Sociology Faculty at UMCS and other institutions in Europe and around the world.

Coming to UMCS	General information, aimed at prospective exchange students, informing them about the university, the faculty, the exchange programme and living in Lublin.

Working with UMCS	Detailed information regarding the department and the university provided for current and future partner institutions.

Most of my efforts go into developing new Socrates Erasmus bilateral agreements as well as running those that we already have. However, with time I wish to develop other forms of cooperation to take advantage of the very broad range of EU programmes currently available to support international cooperation in research and academic exchange.

Erasmus	At the start of 2004 Philosophy and Sociology had two Erasmus partners: University of Exeter, Centre for European Studies Granada University, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters Since then we have also signed agreements with: Paris X Nanterre, Philosopy Department Matej Bel University, Humanities Faculty Catholic University in Ruzomberok, Philosophy Faculty Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg, Philosophy Dept. Masaryk University in Brno, Sociology Department Salzburg University, Philosophy Department Vilnius University, Department of Philosophy University of the Basque Country, Dept. of Philosophy
