Did IMAPP help you to grow professionally/personally?

As a fully fledged master’s degree in physics with the additional challenge and perk of travelling all over Europe, IMAPP was a truly transformative experience. It was an opportunity to explore new realities and ways of doing physics while constantly learning to improve myself, my adaptability, and my discipline. It was very demanding from both an educational and emotional standpoint, but it truly allowed me to understand myself and my strengths at a deeper level than ever before.
