Ben Martin
• The Marie Curie Fellowships are probably the best funded fellowships for PhD students and postdocs I know of, especially regard mobility. And
the emphasis on mobility is incredibly useful for establishing and maintaining collaborations with the international leaders in your field. Thus, I established collaborations with researchers across Europe and
even back in the United States. • Also, the opportunity to experience living and working in Europe was
one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I think that it is a pretty common experience for graduate students to feel like their PhD will never
end, but for me it went by too fast, like most good holidays.
Thank you
for
your attention!
