INTERVIEW WITH ENABLE'S COORDINATOR |
“It is an exciting challenge for young researchers” |
One of the faces behind Horizon 2020’s ENABLE project is that of Clara Caminal, Head of the Academic & International Scientific Affairs Office. She sees the coordination of this European project as “a great success” for the Institute and “a significant achievement” in her career. She is convinced that taking part in the organisation of scientific conferences, the focus of ENABLE, will be “a tremendous experience” for young researchers. “It'll be an opportunity for them to gain valuable experience in organising an international symposium with European partners,” she adds. |
