What was the most challenging aspect of the implementation of the project for us?

The most challenging period for project implementation was the pandemic period. Half of the dual degree curriculum took place during the epidemiological threat. The Project Team took countermeasures, i.e., inter alia, the implementation of classes at the higher education institution in an on-line mode - using remote operating tools with students, selecting appropriate tasks and working methods, organising on-line meetings and webinars for students. The project was fully implemented thanks to a team with the knowledge, experience and motivation to face difficulties that cannot always be foreseen at the planning stage of the project.
