Best of Conference-holidays

April 2018

EERA ECER, Istanbul, 2013

Istanbul provided a beautiful backdrop to my third ECER conference in a row. Together with several friends from across the world we discovered the city, the food, and went on a boat trip on the Bosphorus. At the conference I had a chance to present my final results from the PhD, which were well received.

AERA, San Francisco, 2013

Based on joint work with my PhD supervisor, I attended this very large conference: a scale of event I have never seen before. I also meet up with a good friend and colleague I haven't seen in a while, stopping over in New York at hers on the way back. If only I wasn’t arriving back for the final months of thesis editing...

EERA ECER, Cadiz, 2012

This year I had two great friends joining me in traveling around Andalusia, and we spent a few days between Seville, Cordoba and Granada. Needless to say, this was the most relaxing way to arrive to a conference.

EERA ECER, Berlin, 2011

My first ever international conference presentation. Having to do things on the cheap, I stayed with friends - which also meant having a great tour guide to the city. I had very positive feedback on my PhD plans, which at that stage was really needed!
