Project Background
The establishment of the Welcome Point was the result of a project implemented by the International Cooperation Centre of Łódź University of Technology under the Welcome to Poland 2021 programme, running from May 2022 to April 2023.
The programme was implemented by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) and co-financed by the European Social Fund under the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development.
