Highlights from the stay
"One of my favourite memories from the period abroad will be the day we decorated the Christmas three together. I am very happy to have meet this wonderful research group of people coming from different countries and continents, even with different religions. December was the month I left Zaragoza and I think that I have a lot to learn from this group and from the Spanish culture: valuable research level, friendship, festival and event," Grazia Cinardi.
