Did IMAPP help you to grow professionally/personally?

It gave me a complete overview of the particle physics’ world and its subsectors, other than teaching me how to interact with colleagues and professors with diverse backgrounds and experiences. I also grew a lot on the personal side, as I lived abroad for the first time.
