SYNDIKAT of HETEROLOGICAL SYSTEMS: General: 1st Conference call

Welcome

This blog was created as part of the Erasmus Mundus Crossways in Cultural Narratives Masters programme, which is the only one of the EU approved and funded Erasmus Mundus Masters programmes to specialise in traditional humanities with a modern languages background. The Crossways Consortium comprises 6 top-class European universities.

For further information, please check the programme's official website and the universities' websites on the Useful Links section on the left. If you wish to have a specific question answered, please click on Email here and submit your query.

Mundus students, here you will find regular posts regarding the universities of the consortium, tips, activities, events, pictures, etc. Apart from checking it regularly to keep yourself up to date, a good way to use the blog is through the search device. We already have a significant amount of information on some universities of the consortium, so if you want to find information on a specific city, type its name in the search field (top left). You will then see all posts related to that specific city (because each post title contains the city's name in it). You can also type "General" in order to find information concerning everybody.

General: 1st Conference call

I am happy to say that our first conference was a success! The participants were: Anna, Brendon, Jutta and Paul.

Among other things we discussed:

Life in Perpignan (thanks, Brendon, for the valuable tips!)

- Transportation: the cheapest way to get to Perpignan and around

- French and Schengen visa

- Places to visit around Perpi

- Canigou residence and accommodation in general

Accommodation in St Andrews: Albany Park (thanks, Paul!);
Bank-related problems and solutions
Mundus meetings and conferences (I hope it happens, Anna :)
GM in St Andrews: ideas on the organisation and schedule.

It was such a nice experience that we decided to make these virtual gatherings more often. So the next phone conference is on Wednesday, 12 November at 7pm. For the next meeting, we decided to have an agenda. So you can feel free to start emailing me topics for discussion.

Thanks a lot for all participants' involvement! And all the other are equally welcome to the next one.
