As for the students, the length of stay was 5 months. When it comes to academic staff and teachers, the length of stay equals 7 days. For reasons beyond the University’s control, the outbreak of coronavirus disease, the University trying to facilitate the realization of the agreement applied for the elongation of the project from 26 up to 38 months, counting that the situation would soon get better in Poland and all over the world. In the scope of the allocated budget, out of 30 planned mobilities 25 were fully realized. Inability to realize the missing mobilities was caused by the restrictions concerning the border crossing with the partner countries (The United States, Tajikistan, Senegal). The restrictions in question last till today.
