The EURAXESS Intercultural Assistant for Researchers aims at raising your awareness of the complexity of the intercultural encounters you are likely to experience as a researcher on the move. It consists of four sections.
The first section What Is Culture? explores some basic notions about culture.
The second section Boost Your Intercultural Competence introduces the notion of intercultural communication and intercultural competence with a view to the intercultural experiences you are likely to have.
The third section Compare Cultures explores one of the many approaches to describing cultural differences and allows you to compare your own and the culture of your host institution along Hofstede’s dimensions.
The fourth section Socialising contains practical tips about finding support while adapting to the new cultural environment.
