The social events they organized (welcome reception, sightseeing excursion, boat trip on Moscow river) and their friendly behavior allowed us to meet new friends in the school, new future colleague, and gave us the opportunity of starting collaboration with some of the people we met”.

 

During the saturated interesting classes participants had chance to discuss their success stories; during the entertainment events (and not only during them) they met colleagues, established new friendships etc. Being in Moscow was not only an opportunity to attend lectures with very interesting topics, but also the chance to share experience that enriched both lecturers and participants a lot.

All the participants noticed that they were very grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Summer School. This event considerably contributed to their professional development. It was only pity that there was not enough room to give the chance to participate to more than 25 participants.
