The aim of the visit was to develop research and fieldwork competencies related to biodiversity conservation and to learn about methods applied in active and ex situ conservation.<\/p>\n<p>During the mobility period, we participated in meetings with the research team of the host institution, during which we became acquainted with the Centre\u2019s scope of activities and its ongoing research projects. We also took part in discussions concerning research methods and opportunities for further scientific collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>An important component of the internship was work at the seed bank, where we learned about procedures related to the collection, preparation, and storage of plant material. We also participated in laboratory studies focused on assessing the quality of biological material.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the internship, we took part in fieldwork involving the observation of natural habitats and the monitoring of selected plant populations. We also participated in activities related to assessing threats to habitats and evaluating the effectiveness of ongoing conservation measures.<\/p>\n<p>The internship enabled us to expand our knowledge and competencies in field research methods, environmental monitoring, and practical measures related to biodiversity conservation. The experience gained will be used in our further scientific work and in the implementation of our doctoral research.<\/p>\n<p><em>The PROM program &#8211; short-term academic exchange is funded by the European Union as part of the project entitled \u201cShort-term academic exchange as a&nbsp;way to improve the quality of education at institutions of higher education and science\u201d with the number FERS.01.05-IP.08-0218\/23.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/up.lublin.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mp-ma-staz-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-560569\" src=\"https:\/\/up.lublin.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mp-ma-staz-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1272\" height=\"973\" \/><\/a>Pic. 1.
