The building of Enterprise Ireland 

What daily assignments do  you usually have?

My simple everyday tasks are market analysis, information research which we later represent to Irish companies. Currently I am working with data research on renewable energy sector and dairy products sector.

Mantas together with colleagues organized conference on what Irish companies have to offer for Poland in IT sector

  

The conference was held at the Warsaw Stock Exchange

How were you accepted by the company?

I am very satisfied with the reception, had a supervisor who is an executive of the branch. Also had everything I needed for the internship: my own working table, a computer etc.

How did you settled in a new place?

Rather easily as I quite easily found an apartment on the internet and settled very quickly.

Warsaw is a very big city and as it is Poland, nothing exclusively different that is why I did not have any cultural shock just missing proper specific Lithuanian food like bread and ‘sūreliai’.

Do you have some spare time after a working day at the office?

Yes I do, mostly I do sports (jogging, playing football, going swimming to a local swimming pool), play poker with roommates.

Is there a difference from project “Partners 4 Value” and Erasmus?

Well, I received a smaller scholarship than I expected, but anyway I suggest thinking about applying for the scholarship and consult with your university international relation department for any further details.
