Our programme director Annika-Hanberg accompanied us during the trip, together with some other professors from our Master’s. 1) Long queues at Arlanda Airport, but super excited to start our journey, 2) Sveta and Felix proudly holding their JRC cards on our way to Ispra, 3-4-7) Student pitches during our visit to JRC, 5-6) Some of my classmates had a 3D-laboratory simulation workshop, how cool! In addition to learning more on JRC’s work on alternative approaches to animal testing, we also had short pitches to present our theses.Ĭamera roll from our study visits in Italy. Besides, we participated in a one-day-long Summer School at the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy. One of the purposes of the trip was to visit The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) located in Parma, Italy. Luckily, we were the first students joining this journey since May of 2019. Although this activity occurring every year for those at the end of the 2-year programme, it has been cancelled for the past two years due to the pandemics. Right the Monday after my arrival in Sweden, our ToxMaster class went on a Study Trip to Italy. Keep on reading to discover how the end of my semester went! ToxMaster Study Trip to Italy It has been a really hectic time, but extremely satisfying and rewarding as well. However, before I leave, I wanted to make a short summary of what has happened ever since I returned from Ireland. This will be my last post in this blog, where new student ambassadors will take over next semester to continue narrating their own exchange stories.
At least until mid August, when I will start working on a group at SciLife Lab as a research assistant. Over a month and a half after my exchange finished, I am eventually enjoying Swedish summer.
I hope you have all started the summer vacation in the best possible way.
