HUGS International Fellowship for Graduate Students in Developing Countries

"The lectures in HUGS have been an extraordinary experience to get in contact with topics closely related to my line of work. On one hand, theoretical lectures where very thorough, so I could acquire concrete knowledge on other techniques used in Nonperturbative QCD. On the other hand, being a theoretical physicist, experimental lectures where enlightening, specially as they gave information on how some experimental results are obtained, thus providing an outline on how to appropriately make use of them. Contact with other students was also greatly appreciated and very beneficial as some interesting discussions arose during the three weeks of the School."

"Thanks to the lectures at HUGS and the discussions, this visit will enable me to stick to the deadline of my PhD defense. I strongly believe this experience will have a deep impact on my professional future. And due to the fact that I have no funding to cover any travel or lodging expenses, this experience would not have been possible without the full financial support from the JSA/HUGS Fellowship. Therefore, I am very grateful to have been given this very enriching opportunity."

"The lectures by the other eminent speakers opened new window with basic foundation to my future research interest. The interaction with fellow students was also greatly benefited me during three weeks of the school."

"The conferences in HUGS have been an extraordinary experience for me, and especially on the interactions of particles in the nucleus. We also visited different laboratories for measurements with equipment. The discussions were very interesting between the researchers and the Teachers during the three weeks of the school."

"Because of the lectures at HUGS and the discussions this visit enabled me to hold, both with students and specially with researchers working at the Jefferson Lab, I strongly believe this experience will have a deep impact on my professional future. And due to the fact that I have no funding to cover any travel or logging expenses this experience would not have been possible without the full financial support from the JSA/HUGS Fellowship. Therefore, I am very grateful to have been given this very enriching opportunity."

"In summary, all experience was completely useful and enriching for my career right now and the future, because allowed me to share with excellent researchers and outstanding students of all world and because was possible show my work in front of a lot of possibles futures collaborators. This kind of fellowships is the only way, for people of developing countries, for to go to this type of academics events. I hope, this scholarship goes on for other people in the next years. Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity."
