The partnership achieved mutually successful research outcomes in the Cult_Risk project and three publications, one of which was published in a journal included in the Journal Citation Report.

The British scientists shared their knowledge and expertise during different activities, such as writing publications, preparing grants, developing project outcomes, assessing project outcomes, focusing on a high quality.

Although Coventry University participated as a partner in the Cult_Risk project, the scientists were continually seeking new opportunities for further collaboration. This resulted in new projects and project applications in further years.

In order to prepare excellent project applications, the Coventry University representatives have invited Lukasiewicz-ITEE into consortia with other outstanding institutions with great experience in different kinds of projects, such as Tampere University (Finland) and National Research Council – Institute for Educational Technology (Italy).

The scientists offered support services, completely unpid, for the Polish researchers applying for grants. Coventry University was treated as a partner, but their knowledge and experience were invaluable. They led the project writing process in order to secure excellent outcomes.

Coventry University promoted interdisciplinary research in projects, such as the use of gamification in education and technological areas as well as the project management aspects, for example how to write a project application for a high-budgeted call such as Horizon Europe.
