For my Erasmus, I had the opportunity to work in the Plant Physiology Laboratory at the University of Turin. It was a truly rewarding experience, as I learned various biochemical techniques and analytical methods from highly experienced professors and PhD students. I also had the chance to meet many amazing people who are doing (or will be doing) — research in this field.
Moreover, everyone in the team was Italian except for me. Even though they all spoke excellent English, I was fortunate to improve my Italian and learn a lot about the traditions of the Piedmont region.
But Erasmus is not only about work or studying — it’s also about discovering new places and connecting with people. And I must say that Turin is a perfect city for that. Thanks to the Erasmus Student Network and other organizations, there’s a new event almost every day. With each event or trip you join, you meet more and more interesting and inspiring people from different countries, who chose to have the same Erasmus experience in this spectacular city — the first capital of Italy, Turin.
I would like to thank the International Office of the University of Nova Gorica for this incredible opportunity. I highly recommend Erasmus to anyone considering it as part of their academic journey — don’t hesitate! All the memories and connections made during Erasmus are absolutely worth it!
