The Education Programme, within the framework of which the co-financed project was prepared, was established under the Intergovernmental Agreement on the implementation of the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area for the period 2014-2021. The Programme aims to reduce economic and social disparities within the European Economic Area and to strengthen bilateral relations between Poland and the Donor States (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) in the field of education.
