During the internship, the representative of Lviv Polytechnic studied the resources of the library of the Jagiellonian University and the library of the Institute of Political Sciences and International Relations on the topic of scientific research. Also, Halyna Lutsyshyn got familiarized with the activities of the Institute, in particular the Department of National Security, took part in the scientific events of the Institute (among them the international conference INFO INTEGRUM 22–2), and met with leading experts on the issues of ethnopolitical processes.

Also, on November 22, 2022, the University of Warsaw held a ceremony to award diplomas to the winners of the competition, where Vice Rectors of leading Polish universities congratulated the winners. Since the Ivan Vyhovsky Award is held under the honorary patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Jan Malicki, the Director of the Center for Eastern European Studies at the University of Warsaw, read a letter from the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda, congratulating the participants.
It is important that the Ivan Vyhovsky Award aims to honour the merits of Ukrainian citizens in the development of science, culture and public life, in the formation and development of civil society in Ukraine and the development of a democratic Ukraine.
We express our sincere gratitude to Professor Piotr Bajor, a scientific supervisor, the Jagiellonian University, for organizing the internship and consultation, as well as to Professor Teresa-Astramowicz-Leyk, the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, for the recommendation and support in the internship!
