Master Erasmus Mundus on Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology (WOP‑P) was created by five European universities that act in accordance with innovative solutions of European Union and ENOP Association. Master WOP‑P is not only an innovative, but also a proinnovative program that forms attitudes and proinnovative sensibility of the students. The innovativeness of WOP‑P students is developed thanks to the four main characteristics of the Master: Firstly, the teaching is based on competences. A very important element of the whole program is a „meta‑course” — an orientation course when students understand the importance of developing new innovative attitudes and of competences that are to be acquired during the whole study program. Students learn how to prepare the professional portfolio in response to changes and demands of the global world where there is a need for competences, flexibility and creativity. Secondly, the proinnovative character of Master WOP‑P is reflected in the scientist‑practitioner model that is applied to the master’s program. Students are enlightened on the need to build bridges between the „theoretical” academic world and „practical” world of organizations. Moreover, during the master program, the intercultural cooperation and obligatory international exchange of students and teaching staff is encouraged in form of a three‑month exchange period and a two‑week joint intensive learning unit (Winterschool). Another important aspect of the stimulation of innovativeness is the use of new technologies — both as tools used for studying (creation of the Virtual Aula for WOP-P students and scholars), and as the way of applying them in psychologist’s practice (i.e. innovative use of Internet in personnel management) that respond to the needs of the global world. The results of the WOP-P studies is the openness to a new patterns of work, breaking the barriers and stereotypes, knowledge about new and creative solutions, development of new competences that are necessary in the global world, such as flexibility, readiness for changes, sensitivity and capabilities for an international dialogue. After finishing this program psychologists are oriented on creating innovations that help, among others, in innovation transfer, breaking the resistance to acquiring innovations by organizations.
