  …eserved. They are basically surrounded by it — you don’t have to travel several hours to enjoy the landscapes, just take a ten minutes' walk from a Finnish home and during the summer and early fall you will find yourself picking up delicious berries — mustikka (blueberry) and puolukka (lingonberry). No plastic packaging and high prices for a hundred grams — wonderful…

• Does Sports Programming Exist Beyond St. Petersburg?

  …ad lunch together going to a cafe or ordering a pizza, we watched YouTube videos and short movies. I trained my first team several months before the competition, mostly during summer holidays.

  …le of the seventies. I suppose it was a really great idea, because people at the party looked very cool and the photos were fantastic. In the photo you can see our outfits! Summing up, the Buddy System has done a lot for us, exchange students. Without those friendly guys, we didn’t have so much fun, we would feel lonely in a new place and we wouldn’t get acquainte…

• Studies and University Life in the Czech Republic: Student Exchange

  …out that all the material was clearly structured in my head. Then there was always a conversation with the teacher for about 40 minutes. In the end, I got excellent grades! Summing up, I cannot say that it was extremely difficult because I was really into studying. At the same time it wasn’t too easy as I spent a lot of time reading for classes. I can definitely s…

• A Sunday at the Beach

  …although the feeling was really refreshing. We walked for about 5 min and we ended up at the "300 years' park next to the beach. I had been to that park like a year ago in the summer and I had so happy memories of that day, but I will write about it in another blog post. So, while we were walking closer, I saw people literally walking on a frozen sea! The water had f…

  … lose it so easily. So when you take another disposable cup, another plastic bag, another straw, think about the best day of your life. Was it sunny? Or maybe rainy? Was it in summer heat or in winter cold? Were the weather and everything just perfect? And do you really want to lose it? The next step is yours, and I believe you will make the right choice. …

• Big science communication story in Russia born from a small networking coincidence

  …A.B. It’s been three years since my summer at the Erice School, and at the time I never imagined how it would change literally everything not only in my own career but also in the whole field of science in public in Russia. I fell in love with science communication after my first visit to CERN back in 2009. I was a young science reporter at that time, simultaneously …

  … curriculum in ITMO as well, I have to say it’s nothing similar. Here students can choose between min. 5-week (4 ECTS) or min. 10-week (10 ECTS) internship scheduled for their summer break in between first and second years of MSc. Luckily, Belgium has a wide range of cutting-edge companies in the field of photonics (examples can be found here). Another amazing thi…

Both were helpful in the beginning to not feel too lost in a new country where people speak such a "strange" language :) In the free time of the first summer, I enjoyed many of the sights in and around the city, for example the park in Pavlovsk, Catherine palace in Pushkin, Kronstadt, Peterhof, and Vyborg. 2017 went by, the white nights we…
