In 2011, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan has begun direct cooperation with the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums of Sudan (NCAM) and the Polish Committee for UNESCO to develop a scholarship program for Sudanese researchers and employees of the archaeological heritage sector. During the last ten years, 15 fellows came to Poznan each for a period of five months. They participated in a tailored program focusing on management and studies of archaeological heritage using remote sensing methods. Based on previous experience some questions appear. In which directions such additional archaeological education should be developed? What are the expectations of the recipients? How to not impose solutions suitable in European archaeology and promote creative thinking at the same time? How to take into account local needs and context?
