Why did you choose this institution?

Honestly, I did not have any special reason for choosing this university. I simply found the programme initiative interesting and useful.

What did you learn and do during your stay?

I had the opportunity to engage with both junior and senior international researchers. Through this experience, I collaborated with peers, expanded my professional network, developed research partnerships, and enhanced my research competencies. 

The event also provided a valuable platform to connect with potential employers, helping to alleviate some of the challenges and uncertainties associated with the post-graduation transition.

Is there anything you would like to bring back to INN after your stay?

Postgraduate studies and grant proposal writing seminars should be taken seriously, given the growing uncertainties in the global employment market.
