My name is Dariia Hniezdilova. I`m a 4th year student of veterinary medicine faculty in Lviv National Stepan Gzhytsky University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude towards the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences and the Lviv National Stepan Gzhytsky University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology for providing me with opportunity to participate in the Summer school research program hosted by the Angers University in France. The program took place from 24th of June to 5th of July and it was hosted by the University’s faculty of health and medicine. The participant cohort consisted of students and professionals from varied fields like Pharmacy, Medicine, Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine. The academic schedule for these twelve days comprised of lectures regarding state of the art research in medicine and specifically in neuroscience. The panel of lecturers included elite level researchers and scientists like Marco Spinazzi, Maxima Gaubwerti, Marco Pasi etc. to name a few, all of them pioneers in their respective fields. We also had workshops about scientific writing, data base analysis etc. Also we had the privilege of visiting one of the most reputed laboratories in gene therapy called the Généthon. There we received a guided tour of the laboratory and got the opportunity to meet and greet their faculty and witness their top notch research work and machinery involved in the process. Also we spent a few hours in the Angers University simulation centre where we learnt some techniques relating first aid, intubation and IV-catheter placement protocols.

 We had some social activities as well which included a cruise on the river Maine, guided tour of Angers city and its castle and a lovely picnic on the river bank. We also received a chance to view and admire the Eiffel tower, one of the Seven Wonders of the World while we were in Paris. Besides imparting interesting and useful technical information and practical skills, we also received sessions to communicate, discuss and overall to have a very good time with other participants from different parts of the world. All in all, it was an incredible experience and some memorable moments to cherish for the rest of my life.
