In his words ‘‘As an international experience MEDfOR is a tremendous opportunity to develop the vision of young forest engineers. Moreover, I understand more and more the importance of its teachings in terms of improving my skills to be good researcher. I can point out the contribution of the education I received at MEDfOR as one of the turning points in my life.’’
