Lodz International Studies Academy (LISA)

Dear foreign friends !

Welcome to Lodz International Studies Academy (LISA). We are a modern school that offers a unique diplomacy-economy-language curriculum !

Lodz International Studies Academy was founded in July 1997. In a short period of time it became an important institution on the academic map of Lodz. This results from a very interesting form of studies and a high level research program. In record-breaking time, we obtained the possibility of presenting students with an M.A. in the ” international relations” department. Currently we hold day and extramural studies on the following majors:

International Relations and Business
European Studies
English/German/Spanish/Italian Philology

LISA offers two-level, two-major B.A/M.A. studies in the 3+2=M.A. model. This is in accordance with educational models in the EU. This is held at the following:

European studies and business (3 years) and international relations (2 years);
Foreign philology (3 years) and international relations (2 years).

Nowadays LISA trains about 2000 Students. The Academy accepts about 500 students a year in a full-time mode and 300 in an extensive mode. The aim of the studies is to provide students with knowledge and skills necessary to perform their duties in social, political and cultural life at the time of regional and global integration in the World.

Diplomacy for Peace Foundation

Diplomacy for Peace Foundation is a research centre that was founded by great and well-known polish historian prof. dr hab. Marian Wilk.

Its main idea is disseminating peace, creating the civil society, mutual tolerance backed with an attitude towards respecting the cultural, ethnic and world view differences in various nations and individuals. That’ s basis for its civil activities, especially among the youth.The Foundation has chosen the international dialogue as its external way of expanding its mission. The reason for it is that we do believe that it’ s words, in different formations that’ s the true key for bringing peace and tolerance.It’ s created continuity is a dialogue leaned on diplomatic principles, which is the best way to introduce the Foundation’ s mission.

The Founder hopes that running the program will result in a better understanding of a true international cooperation among the countries, nations and single individuals which may contribute to deepen the idea of peaceful coexistence.
