The unparalleled international mobility and the opportunity to benefit from the collective expertise of multiple universities across Europe and beyond is what attracted me to this programme. I appreciate the flexibility to chart one's own academic trajectory, and the virtue of self-sufficiency promoted by the programme. Further, networking with individuals from all across the globe, who share the same passion for neuroscience, I think is very valuable for furthering not just scientific progress, but also personal growth. I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing intercultural academic experience!
