The journal “Intercultural Сommunication” (IC) (ISSN: 2451-0998; e-ISSN: 2543-7461) is a scientific semi-annual of the Alcide De Gasperi University of Euroregional Economy in Józefów. The journal has been published since 2016. The purpose of the journal, in the current increasing globalization and the intensification of migration, is to provide an effective platform for the international exchange of fundamental and applied experience in the field of intercultural communication in the areas of social sciences and humanities (cultural anthropology, sociology, philosophy, philology, history, science on safety, media studies, political science, management science, legal science, pedagogy, psychology, religious studies, etc.).

 In the journal, we publish research results, based on:

  • the functional meaning of the term “Intercultural Сommunication” – the communication between the various systems of norms of behaviour, the moral norms, the values, the lifestyles, the customs of various social groups (for example: the urban culture, the generations culture, the organization cultural etc.).
