The support is provided through workshops, consultations with late career professors, cross-disciplinary faculty learning group (composed of three professors in various stages of formation), classroom observation of senior professors, and program design and development sessions delivered by the senior staff.
In Research practices the formation phase faculty receive the support in the following areas:

The support is provided through New Staff Writing Groups, Consultations, Research Writing Workshops, and Faculty Learning Groups (composed of three professors in various stages of formation), and grant support for junior faculty in the formation phase in the form of Young Researcher Grant Support.
Four promising junior faculty benefited from the Young Researcher Grant. The examples of Young Researcher Grant Support can be seen online in http://www.eukos.org/?page=2,170
In Pre-tenure leadership for New Faculty the support is given by making junior faculty serve in various committees and even being chairs of several committees. For instance the Ethics and Disciplinary Commission of Faculty of Real Estate is composed entirely of junior faculty as it is available in the link http://www.eukos.org/?page=2,196
On the other hand, the important member in the Curriculum Development Team of the Bachelor program Management of Real Estate and Infrastructure (BA) is Junior Lecturer Edin Murati as it is available on page 1 of the Procedure of Approval of Review of Curricula 2020 as it can be seen in the link http://www.eukos.org/repository/docs/Procedure_of_approval_of_review_of_curricula_2020.pdf
