On April 8, the Department of Biotechnology held a mentoring session on the topic "The Importance of Academic Mobility for Ensuring Quality Education" for groups BT-25-10, BT-25-11, and BT-25-12 of “Biotechnology” specialty. This event aimed to broaden students' horizons, increase their awareness of modern educational opportunities, and motivate them to participate in international academic programs. During the meeting, students learned general information about academic mobility, its importance in the context of globalized education and science, and the benefits it offers for personal and professional development. Particular attention was paid to the requirements for students wishing to participate in academic mobility programs.

The program's terms for the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year were discussed, including financial aspects, the list of required documents, and the application deadline. Scholarship and other support opportunities were also discussed. Students were also provided with information about the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology's international partner universities, with which they actively collaborate. These universities include Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Adam Mickiewicz University, University of Camerino, University of Warsaw, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE), and Shenzhen University (SZU). Participants were informed about the specifics of studying at these universities, the available educational programs, and the prospects for academic exchange.
