The lowest level (PARTNER) – suitable for smaller companies, which can use it as a tool for starting cooperation with an educational institution, the primary goal of which is to establish initial contacts or solve selected problems by entering topics for students’ final theses. Specific forms of activities: inviting partners to joint meetings and seminars with employees of individual professional groups (departments), announcements about job vacancies or various links for students, joint meetings twice a year with the possibility of presenting company materials, writing final (bachelor, diploma) theses, in which the leader or consultant can be a worker from a partner organization, Presentation of the partner in the annual reports and on the website of the faculty.
Medium level (MAIN PARTNER) – suitable for medium and larger companies, which is used to solve joint projects, for example with a view to obtaining European funds, in which the connection of academic research with practice is often a necessary requirement and the connection between academic staff and students with a partner from practice, it is a common interest for building cooperation and longer-term relationships.
Specific forms of activities: solution of specific development projects according to the specification of the partner as part of students’ final theses (coordination of assignments by the faculty), mutual agreement and assignment of a simple research and development project, sponsorship of the best bachelor’s or diploma theses in individual fields of study or the best students, organization of professional partner seminar.
The highest level (STRATEGIC PARTNER) – the highest level of partnership with a long-term common interest with the possibility of changes in the focus of study or research according to the requirements of practice. It is a form of very close cooperation with a serious interest of both parties in joint activities.

Partners at all the mentioned levels meet intensively and regularly (e.g. every semester), inform each other and adapt the forms of their cooperation and promotion. That is, the connections are more intensive and compared to the past, not only through open days or job fairs. A condition for longer-term functioning of the mentioned links is the existence of funds to cover the costs of ensuring joint activities. The Faculty of Aeronautics organizes a meeting twice a year of companies - all partners from practice with students and staff of the faculty. After registration, partners thus have the opportunity to directly address students, present their areas of activity and solve specific questions in a mutual discussion. The presentation of companies can take place in the form of their performances in blocks in auditoriums, in the form of stands or other forms of presentation.
