A package of documents for participation in the mobility program included CV, a motivation letter, a letter of confirmation of employment at the university, a scan of a passport, it was also necessary to attach a letter-confirm that the corresponding faculty were ready to accept (thanks to the previously established cooperation under the Tempus Crunt program, a doctor of Engineering Sciences, Adrian Adăscăliței, this invitation was received). Due to Covid-19 situation, T. Velicova received a letter that the terms for the implementation of mobility programs of the 2019-2020 academic year are shifted to a more favorable period. In August 2021, it was reported that the program was resuming and her participation in the mobility program became possible.
