One part of the project was the support of the professional development of members of staff working in research, education, and management in the early stages of their careers by participating in a long-term educational internship at the partner institution. This experience enabled them to acquire the abilities, knowledge, and skills necessary for enhancing their personal development and employment. Participants of long-term internships have also improved their foreign language skills. They have encountered specific features of a foreign country and its culture, get involved in a network of international associates, and grasped the meaning of European citizenship and European identity. Another benefit was the possibility to apply teaching experience acquired at lectures attended during the internship. Last but not least, the acquired experience helped participants in preparing their own grant applications.The second part of the project was a short-term visit by BUT staff at the partner institution focused on joint participation at academic events.
