While some have previously visited HVL for research, for two students this visit is their very first overseas experience.

“I extend my sincere gratitude to HVL for not only the opportunity given to us but also to the extra care and efforts extended during our travel and arrival to Bergen with the prevailing pandemic situation.

The laboratory at HVL gives me great confidence to test my research skills. The beautiful Bergen with cold weather is a totally new experience for me. I am confident that this research stay will not only enlighten my academic career but will also provide me with many life experiences”.

“Like many Indian students, it is a dream come true for me to come and work in a university in a European country. It has given me a new platform to work and develop my novel ideas.

Apart from my research work, life’s new experience from living in a new environment, meeting new people from different backgrounds and culture has been profound. I thank HVL for giving me this great opportunity”.
