Postdoc in Political Science, Linköping University, Sweden
"Looking back I can describe CEU as a great meeting place for people, for different cultures, knowledge and experience. CEU was an invaluable source of knowledge and development for me. As a result I could open my mind, widen my views and get more in depth knowledge especially on the turmoil of transition and the context around it. CEU meant a lot for developing my interest in research and provided an excellent springboard for my further career."
