Laura Hocq, a Master’s student in Nursing Science at Henallux, shares her experience conducting research for her thesis. Her study explores nurses’ perceptions of their knowledge about the effects of climate change on human health.

At first, she saw research as an isolated process but soon realized it is highly collaborative, offering valuable networking and learning opportunities. Balancing full-time work and studies was challenging, requiring strong organization and resilience.

Laura encourages students to embrace research, highlighting its benefits in professional growth, expanding opportunities, and stepping out of one’s comfort zone.

Her advice: stay open-minded, be organized, and see challenges as learning experiences.

Cristina Brandini attebded the event and used an opportunity to present BLIST project ideas and results at the “Après-midi de la recherche,” an event organized by HELB – Haute Ecole Libre de Bruxelles Ilya Prigogine.

The event showcased both internal and external research projects, with a strong focus on the theme of student participation in research.
It was inspiring to see so many innovative ideas and to witness how students are actively involved in shaping the future of research.
