I was conducting instrument flight with a student flying a VOR approach circle to land. We were circling to land and making all appropriate radio calls for the circle. Both my student and I visually cleared the runway before touchdown. We were planning on doing a touch and go. After visually checking the runway and making two final calls; we touched down on the runway to conduct a touch and go. On the rollout when the student was getting ready to add full power; we saw an aircraft coming right towards us on their takeoff roll opposite direction down the runway. I immediately took controls from my student and got us off at the intersecting runway. The other aircraft realized what was happening and stopped as well. I made several attempts to contact the other aircraft with no response. We can only surmise that this aircraft rolled onto the runway while we were on a very short final leg and initiated a takeoff roll without checking to see if the area was clear; making a single radio call; or checking to see what other traffic was doing. The winds were heavily favoring the runway we landed on and there were several other aircraft using the same runway we were. I feel as though that there is nothing else that I could have done to prevent this other pilot from entering a runway and taking off opposite direction right into another aircraft.
Flight instructor reported that during landing rollout another aircraft began takeoff roll from the opposite end of the runway without making any radio calls. Reporter exited the runway and stated that the other aircraft stopped on the runway.
