Why to apply?
Participating in an international conference is an advantage when applying to M.A. or Ph.D. studies. It is always an interesting and new experience which enhances learning about other people, researches, practices and institutions, just like reflecting on own practice. Furthermore, a conference is a field to make professional relations, friendship as well as to travel around and get familiar with the hosting country’s culture.
