” It was really interesting to take a look at the textile laboratories of UNIWA and to be given a tour around the Ancient Olive Grove Campus while learning more about the history of the university. After meeting other Greek and international students, we got the chance to further discuss each other’s projects and explore the old city center of Athens together later on. I am really thankful for this enriching experience! “
