I applied for this program because I view it as an opportunity to share my research for others to benefit from the knowledge been generated. Also, a program of this nature that brings a lot of scholars from different academic backgrounds, provides an atmosphere to learn new ideas and perspectives that will be beneficial for both sides, and also create an opportunity for future collaborations.
