"After finishing my MEDfOR journey at the universities of Padua, Italy and Valladolid, Spain, I enjoyed a bit of free time by exploring a piece of Mexico and then back at home with my family and friends. In the meantime, I applied for a job at the European Forest Institute and for PhD at CTFC + University of Lleida, both of it in Spain. At the end, in May 2022 I am starting a new exciting journey of a PhD student in the Catalonian region in north-east Spain where I will study the contribution of the Wild Forest Products to the rural development in Spain, which I am really excited about. I am always open to get in touch with the current or potential future MEDfOR students as this programme was a great deal to me personally, so don't hesitate to reach out to me at hrbek.s@seznam.cz!"

"My Personal observation MEDfOR was a key to new beginnings, new experiences, and knowledge that I believe made me more conscious and environmentally aware. Now I am glad to have the MEDfOR Family. "
