My visit to Kazan
 Elena Zakova, NISPAcee Senior Manager: Prior to my trip I did not know what to expect in Kazan – I had only
minimum information from the internet. However, from the outset I was
positively surprised by the city. Part of the reason was because of the
people – very helpful and hospitable colleagues from the Kazan Federal
University - who were acting as my guides and spent a lot of time with
me. They not only showed me the impressive historical university
buildings with newly reconstructed
meeting rooms, where our conference will be held in May 2017, but also
the beauty of the city and surrounding area.

NISPAcee Interns
Dor a  Varosi: I am a student at the National University of Public Service. Next year, in 2017, I will complete my Master’s degree.
I
spent two months - October-November - in the NISPAcee Headquarters in
Bratislava, which I found to be very rewarding. I learned many new
things about the workings of an international organisation and also
gained more experience when I participated in a conference. I met some
great people who helped improve my professional and human skills during
the two months. Thank you for everything NISPAcee!
