It is important to see the progress that we made so far. Every single person should do what they want and what is in their ability without anyone saying otherwise.
Visit international laboratories and visit other countries for conferences, were some of the opportunities that this TWIN2PIPSA has provided me. Every single thing that I was able to do allowed me to discover different ways of thinking, new cultures and techniques. I discussed my work with so many people and saw so many research themes, that not only my work improved but also my mindset grew.
