“It was one of the best experiences I’ve had so far. On the very first day of this mobility, we had to cut open fish and remove their organs. The following days also involved practical work – it was a completely new learning experience for me,” she says. According to her, this mobility broadened her scope by introducing biological research methods outside her main discipline.
Beyond the academic schedule, Athens itself became an important part of Ajaykanna’s experience. From the Acropolis and Parthenon to the Olympic Stadium and the National Archaeological Museum, the city wasn’t just beautiful – it was also inspiring.
“Visiting the Acropolis felt like walking through the history of Greece. The view from the top was breathtaking,” he notes.
Throughout her stay in Greece, Ajaykanna also formed strong relationships with professors and fellow students, opening doors to potential cross-disciplinary collaboration in the future.
“I believe the knowledge gained through this minor will be useful in emerging fields. It has definitely made me more curious about new research directions, too,” Ajaykanna noted.
