The programme is addressed to students and young graduates of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) study programmes from Polish universities, interested in continuing their future careers in the field of international security, defense and peace. The programme is to bring together 10 talented participants and 10 experienced mentors during a 12-month course, based on individual mentoring, skills training, study visits and participation in the Warsaw Security Forum 2023.

Julia became one of the 10 participants in the programme, because in her research she deals with peacekeeping missions after 1945. This perfectly illustrates how great an impact the subject of the studies has on career development.
