Undertaking postdoctoral research under the Pontica Magna Fellowship programme has been an outstanding opportunity for me to develop my research and share it with international scholars in NEC’s vibrant research environment. NEC’s progressive and interdisciplinary approach to social sciences and humanities had offered valuable feedback for my research and I also had the chance to carry out my research in a different host organisation, thanks to NEC’s stipend for an exchange month. Finally, I was incredibly satisfied with how the NEC administrators and staff welcomed us, accommodated us and assisted us in all aspects of life in Bucharest.
