Over the year, we have a lot of Visiting Researchers from all over the world at the Europa-Institut to advance their research. One of them is Nikola Murdzev, PhD Candidate at Iustinianus Primus Faculty of Law in Skopje, North Macedonia 🇲🇰.
🗣️: How do you like your stay at the Europa-Institut?
💬: "The research stay at the Europa-Institut was enjoyable, productive, useful, well structured from the organizers, and much needed to further shape, progress and expand my doctorate content. I visited many countries and universities across Europe in the last few years to acquire additional skills, knowledge, and subsequently to meet with European stakeholders in relation to my research field of interest, and I can share that the time spent on research at the Europa-Institut was unique and it stands out in various aspects."
🗣️: What are the advantages of receiving the scholarship?
💬 : "The available literature that the library has stockpiled and aggregated over the decades, is a treasury by itself. The library has collected a vast pool of literature by many renowned authors in Germany and in Europe. Having in mind that some of the bibliography is even today not available on electronic formats and it is accessible only by a paper format, the utilization of the library materials certainly stood out.
Another aspect is related to networking. Undertaking a research stay in particular, is also providing a boost in terms of the construction of an academic research that a PhD Candidate is conducting on a given period of time, however, it also provided opportunity to meet with some old acquaintances and friends, while at the same time providing opportunities to expand contacts by meeting new peers that have stood out in their respective areas of research."
