the UP Faculty and Dept. which signed the institutional agreement.

It is practical to understand the abbreviations of UP Faculties (picture 2.), because they correspond with their full names in Czech, not with the English translation, which can be rather confusing for a foreigner. The same difficulty can be unfortunately experienced with the names of the departments (picture 3.)
