The collaboration of these partnerships started on the kick-off meeting in October 2018 during the official meeting of European ESCPs in Brussels organized by the European Commission. Since there many virtual collaboration meetings were held and useful resources were shared such as relevant contacts, templates of documents for getting effective feedback from companies, agendas of internationalisation webinars and events etc. The partnerships also learned from the good practices and mistakes in order to more effectively support their members toward internationalisation.
