: The article was prepared as part of the project “TrainESEEv.2. Training trainers in East and Southeastern Europe”, funded by EIT RawMaterials, supported by the EIT, a body of the European Union, under the ID 19159.
: This survey was carried out as part of the TrainESEEv.2 project -Training the trainers in East and Southeast Europe (project ID 19,159). All procedures performed in this study were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional research committee. The survey was prepared regarding the relevant guidelines/regulations, in particular with all the requirements imposed by the Polish Data Protection Authority (UODO) following the Act of 10 May 2018 on the Protection of Personal Data, implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016. Informed consent for participation was obtained from all involved. The surveys were sent to employees as online forms. The condition for participation was to confirm consent to use the data obtained in the surveys for further project analyses. Before completing the questionnaire, participants were informed of the survey’s purpose, the scope of the study, and how the data would be used. They were assured that their anonymity would be maintained and that no personal or identification information would be collected or disclosed. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the institutional working groups of the participating universities of the project, including the TrainESEE Project Group of AGH University of Technology in Krakow, and the EIT Raw Materials. This survey research did not constitute protracted, physically or mentally exhausting studies. No controversial issues were raised within the survey. Moreover, the study’s participants expressed their consent for participation consciously and freely and had the opportunity to state possible refusal before or during the study. Therefore, referring to the ethical principles of AGH and the Council of the National Science Center’s recommendations for studies involving human participation, positive recommendations of ethics committees were not required, and therefore no further evaluation by such committee was sought.
