Research Exchange with Tong Li, Zhejiang University

I spent five months on exchange in Hangzhou, China, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience both academically and personally. The exchange significantly advanced my research and allowed me to reach important milestones, including presenting at my first international conference. Living and working abroad also gave me valuable new perspectives on international research collaboration and everyday life, making this an experience that has had a lasting impact on my academic and professional journey.

Research Exchange with Gentiane Venture, The University of Tokyo

I spent 10 weeks in Japan doing a research exchange at the University of Tokyo. It was the most wonderful experience! I was able to learn from researchers from all around the world, further my research and also improve my research skills. During my time there, I also had the opportunity to participate in cultural activities that broadened my worldview. Overall, it was an amazing opportunity that I am very thankful to have had.
