“I don’t have enough words to express the admiration and excitement that I feel when I think about this wonderful trip. I can say that it was one of the most impressive, incredible, and unforgettable experience in my life! Not going to lie, having to work on a research project in an entirely new setting at the Free University of Brussels was quite challenging but at the same time it’s what made it even more fascinating. I can certainly say I’ve learnt a lot, particularly when it comes to conducting research but also working with amazing people from diverse backgrounds. This experience was an invaluable contribution to my self-development both in education and everyday life.”
– Sara, Summer Research Exchange Program Student
