International conference at Faculty of Philology

Global perspectives juxtaposed with local contexts will be the theme of an international conference on intercultural studies. The conference will be held at the UO Collegium Maius from 18 to 20 September 2024.

The programme for this three-day event includes eleven onsite and twelve online sessions. In the international line-up, panellists from Poland will make up just one tenth of the total. Not without reason, the conference slogan is ‘Intercultural encounters: global perspectives-local contexts’.

The conference of IAICS, the International Association for the Study of Intercultural Communication, will be held in Opole for the first time. Last year’s edition was held in China, and next year’s is scheduled for Brazil. The event will be organised by the Faculty of Philology and the Faculty of Political Science and Social Communication together with IAICS.

The conference will begin on 18 September (Wednesday) at 10.00 a.m., and will be opened by the UO Rector Professor Jacek Lipok and IAICS President Lixian Jin. The conference, attended by 100 participants, will be combined with another science-focused event, Immersive Week, which will run from 16 to 20 September. It will be held under the auspices of the FORTHEM Alliance.
