From 29 September to 1 October 2026, the Department of Germanic Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, welcomed Prof. Dr. habil. Felicja Księżyk and Dr. Małgorzata Jokiel from the University of Opole, two years after their previous visit.
The visiting scholars delivered a series of interactive lectures and seminars exploring multilingualism, language contact research, and the role of language in shaping regional identity and conveying food culture.
Their Erasmus+ teaching mobility also included meetings with the Vice-Dean for International Relations Assoc. Prof. Vladimír Lichner, Head of the Department of Germanic Studies Assoc. Prof. Ingrid Puchalová, PhD., and other departmental colleagues. These meetings provided an opportunity to share teaching experience, discuss research findings and exchange perspectives on research management. They also explored prospects for further cooperation in research and education, building on the promising partnership between the two institutions.
