The MEDFOR Program provided an excellent frame for me as a person and as a forestry engineer. During these two years I have been living and studying in different countries (Italy, Spain), my first year was at the University of Padova, Italy. and then I had great experience in a summer internship in forest inventory at the association of Montnegre I el Corredor, Barcelona, Spain. my second year in Valladolid University, Spain. exciting things, that I did my thesis project in a nonwood food product in Ethiopia with INIA Association, Madrid, which I had the chance to choose my topic within a various number of theses. I was a self-funding student but they really helped me alot to recover this issue. It was exciting and challenging, but the most wonderful things that surpassed my expectation were the people I met during these fantastic years, especially during the period in Padova and the winter school. ndeed, it has been a pleasure to get involved in the Master program and to become a part of the MEDfOR family. Sincerely, it has been a unique, rewarding and unforgettable experience in all respects!"

Also it allows the students to live in different countries through the consortium of several universities in Italy, Spain and Portugal. My experience through this program was excellent! Thank you for everyone who was responsible for each part of it!" July 2019
