ESA staff experiences
-Teaching exchange at the University of Helsinki (Finland)
Testimony of Joséphine PITHON-RIVALLAIN (Teacher-Researcher in ecology):
“My time in Finland, and welcoming Irina to Angers, were very enriching experiences from all points of view. Finland has 5.5 million inhabitants and 7% of the land is in agriculture, which changes your mind compared to France! Of course, organizing such an exchange takes energy, but the returns on investment are there: ideas for teaching practices to be tested, new references to be explored and, I hope, opportunities for future collaboration. ”
-Training exchange at the University of Turin (Italy)
Testimony of Dominique LE MEURLAY (Technical Manager of the Cluster Research Unit):
“I went to Italy and worked in a laboratory at the University of Turin in Alba, a region known for its exceptional wines (Barbera, Barolo, Barbaresco…), white truffles and the historic stronghold of Ferrero, a Nutella factory perfumes the city, depending on the direction of the winds …
I worked with Mario Gabrielli in the analysis laboratory on samples from a collaborative research project between the Grappe and the team of Professor Luca Rolle according to their protocol which I was able to transfer to the Grappe. I discovered the daily life of the researchers in this team. Unlike the Grappe, there is no technical team to carry out the laboratory work. It is the teacher-researchers who are at the bench with a few trainees. One word for them: the results obtained in the laboratory will be published. This professional trip allowed me to exchange with experts in the analysis of grapes and wine, these contacts may be useful to me later. I was able to compare our working conditions in the laboratory with theirs and am delighted with the organization of our laboratory in terms of safety.
I had the opportunity to do an ERASMUS internship when I was a student. I found that 30 years later I had exactly the same pleasure in this kind of experience which strongly stimulates and breaks everyday life. I’m ready to go! ”
