Undergraduate and postgraduate students from HSE humanities’ faculties annually participate in a one-month internship in Warsaw in December. These internships are part of a larger programme of research cooperation and academic mobility between the Poletayev Institute for Theoretical and Historical Studies in the Humanities (IGITI) and the University of Warsaw Faculty of Artes Liberales, which has existed and been developing in various forms since 2007. Alexander Makhov, Research Assistant at IGITI, told us about the internship.
