BLIST participated in “Osez la recherche européenne”, an information day about EU funding programmes for research organized by SynHERA in the frame of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024. We presented a general overview of the project and out benchmark conclusions about current practices of students’ inclusion in research activities. Four students kindly accepted to share their testimonials about their first experience on research.

Thanks to Jordan Pouleau Laura Hocq Eric Ugo Paque and Ryan Tock for sharing this!
