Testimonials
Undergraduate: This was one of the most rewarding experiences of
my life. I would have never imagined that coming to study to Serbia
(and Belgrade in particular) would be so amazing. The university and
the city offered me so much that I have not only found my academic
interests but also re-established my connection to many important
things in my life. JoinEU-SEE is a superb project and everyone should
take a part in it. (Paulius Scenikovas; home university: Vilnius
University; host university: University of Belgrade)

Staff: My Leuven research experience was a magnificent, enriching


period in my career which enabled me to grow as a scholar but also to
broaden my horizons, both professionally and personally. I was
networking with the colleagues in the field, with whom I will
definitely stay in touch; I made good connections and I am proud now
to be among the ambassadors of internationalisation in higher
education in my country. (Ivana Grbavac; home university:
University of Mostar; host university: University of Leuven)
