24. Learn to deal with remote-controlled experiments and with practice-related problems during the experiment.

25. Learn to deal with text-editing, data processing programs and learn the standards of scientific reporting.

26. Improving the skills related to the IT communications and online competence.

27. Integration of these abilities in the team work.
