5 reflections by "la Caixa" Foundation fellows who are experts in water management

Since 2010, Portugal has experienced significant growth in the field of scientific research, particularly in biomedicine, although not exclusively. Increasingly, more students choose to continue their careers in the country, tackling scientific challenges with innovative and multidisciplinary approaches, as is the case with these four fellows.

Last February, in Girona, we held the first Annual Meet-up for the doctoral INPhINIT fellows from our 2023 call. For four days, the fellows took part in a range of activities designed to hone their interdisciplinary skills, such as communication, creativity, leadership and teamwork. Anna Vilà Cuñat, an expert in criminal and European law, communicator and one of the fellows taking part in the meeting, shares some of her thoughts about this experience in the following article. Anna highlights the opportunity provided by such training to integrate scholars from different disciplines in both science and humanities and thereby build a true community of knowledge.
