As part of the programme, participants took part in institutional group visits in Warsaw. Meetings were held with representatives of the Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW), the European Commission Representation in Poland, and Frontex. The discussions focused on the EU’s enlargement policy, the role of EU agencies and institutions in supporting candidate countries, as well as key policy developments related to the Green Agenda and sustainable connectivity within the European Union.

The programme also included a study visit to Łódź, where participants explored practical approaches to green transition and renewable energy. During the visit, they met with a representative of the Marshal’s Office of the Łódź Region, who presented the role of regional authorities in implementing EU policies and supporting sustainable development. Participants also visited laboratories at Lodz University of Technology, where they learned about ongoing research and observed how innovative solutions are applied in the fields of energy and industry.
