1) Where will you travel first when the COVID pandemic is over?

I don’t think I can wait so long: I am planning to travel to Spain this summer and hopefully to Besancon in September.

2) What do you like most about EU4M?

For me, EU4M is all about people. I really enjoy it to meet my colleagues from our partner universities and students from all over the world! The mixture has always made EU4M special.

3) Where do you like to celebrate the EU4M graduation ceremony and why?

The place is not so important – a really nice thing would be that it could be a real party again and not just an online meeting. Fingers crossed. It is really a pity, that we could not have a ceremony last year. I always liked it, because this was something that also my university (where I graduated) took not really important. But I think we should celebrate this day. Finishing your education is one of the most important milestones in your whole life.

4) What do you think the EU4M community is still missing?

What I miss, is the feeling of stability. We always have to apply for money at the EU and fear that one day this whole thing can be over. However, maybe this feeling makes us appreciate EU4M even more: it is never something given, but we have to develop it further in order to go on.
