The programme included discussions, sessions, and workshops, while the exhibition hall served as a platform for institutions to showcase their activities and establish new partnerships.

The Polish delegation promoted higher education under the joint banner “Study & Research in Poland”, coordinated by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA).
