The main goals of the program are to support long-term cooperation between the universities of Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan, as well as to expand the offer of intensive international educational programs implemented in a hybrid format.
It should be recalled that the project is implemented under the program of the National Agency for Academic Exchanges (NAWA, Republic of Poland) – Intensive International Educational Program SPINAKER on the basis of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow.
Recently, a master’s student-translator studied at NAWA's Summer School of Polish Language and Culture, and six Polytechnic students became participants in the Polish SPINAKER scholarship program.
Previously, the participants of the long-term academic mobility program in Greenland shared their impressions of studying and getting to know the cultural flavor of the country, female Polytechnic students study the activities of European business brands under the academic exchange program at a Romanian university, and female Polytechnic students study under the Erasmus+ academic exchange programme at the Bialystok University of Technology.
