“The financial support for this sabbatical year, which I took to work on my PhD, was certainly very helpful. At the same time, I felt that I was receiving intensive supervision from my supervisor, but then I thought I could combine that with closer support from the university and through the accompanying courses that I was then able to attend.”

PhD student in biochemistry at the Universities of Oldenburg and Groningen
