"A very interesting,
instructive and
motivating course
led by welcoming
and knowledgeable staff.
Highly recommend"
                        4/11/2019



" It was an opportunity
to meet and learn from
other academics but
not in a conference
room but outside in the
environment that you
have to teach in. That
made all the difference"
                         3/7/2019



"The CERES workshop
helped me to feel more
confident and
enthusiastic about
organising field trips for
my students. Working
outside in the beautiful
natural surroundings
was inspirational"

"Working with an
international team was
wonderful and I would
love to find further
opportunities to do
this
"       SPW May 2019



"Different backgrounds
are very much enriching
and contribute so much
to a project"
              SPW May 2019



"It was by far the best part
of my BSc time. I have
never before learned so
much in such a short time,
and I would have never
believed that living in one
big house with 15
international students
would be that much fun.
We all have grown to be
a family, there will be
reunions and future
cooperations.  I wish
everybody could get a
chance to experience
what I did."
             SPW May 2019



"One of the best
experiences of my
life, 10/10
"   
            SPW May 2019



"I am planning on
working in a field
that requires an
interdisciplinary,
multinational team.
The course  has
made me realise
the importance of
having experts in
different fields and
necessity of a person 
that combines all that
knowledge into
something useful for
society
