The Faculty of Karviná was represented by a group of 15 students of all forms of study. The event took place within the framework of the ISIP university project “Sharing of Research Activities of SU SBA Students in International Environment”, the researcher of which is Dr. Stoklasa.

Within the set time limit students presented their projects, seminar or diploma theses in English, with papers from many areas, such as marketing, information technology, finance, management and other social science disciplines. The aim of these joint seminars is to strengthen students' language skills and enable students to acquire professional terminology in English, their presentation skills and, last but not least, the ability to respond to additional audience questions.

It was really a great experience. It gave us opportunity to meet new friends from various universities and from various fields of studies and to make a presentation on a topic of our interest related to the theme of the seminar. The coordinators of the programme were very friendly and it makes our stay at Rezszow pleasant. The city of Rezszow is amazing with parks, gardens and all modern infrastructures.
