Working together with such passionate, motivated and highly competent individuals made me challenge what I took for granted, broaden my horizons, and helped me further develop my skills in the field of project coordination and communication. NN was a warm and friendly environment, where people care for, and challenge each other. These five months helped me discover what interests me more, my competences, and gave me the tools to pursue my dreams. Working with Prof. Keridis and his team, is a unique experience that challenges your limits, broadens your knowledge, and can prove life-changing.”
