Julia Planko

Julia has been a visiting researcher at INGENIO two times over the last year. She is a PhD Candidate at Utrecht University.

Two years ago I came to Valencia for the first time for the EU-SPRI PhD days. It was an amazing conference and I immediately liked the atmosphere at INGENIO and the city of Valencia. When I heard about the opportunity to work at INGENIO for three months as a guest researcher via the EU-SPRI Circulation Award, I knew that I had to apply. Last autumn I spend a wonderful time at INGENIO. I enjoyed being part of this friendly and highly skilled research group. My PhD research advanced a lot, thanks to excellent supervision by my host supervisor Dr. Davide Consoli and feedback I received when I presented my topic to the group. Moreover, I really enjoyed the informal chats with the many nice people at INGENIO. And of course the beautiful city of Valenica! I was very sad when I had to leave and consoled myself with the idea that I would come back. Fortunately I had the chance to come back to INGENIO again this spring. I participated again in the EU-SPRI PhD days, which were again brilliantly organized, fun, and a great learning experience. I stayed for five weeks at INGENIO, to continue working on my research in this supportive environment. Again, I had a very good time at INGENIO, professionally and personally. Thank you all, INGENIO team!

Óscar Llopis

Óscar did her PhD thesis at Universitat de València and is working now as Assistant Professor at ESC Rennes School of Business (France).

I have great memories from my PhD period at INGENIO. I arrived at INGENIO in 2010 with a JAE-Predoc grant but little experience in academia. From the beginning, I got involved in the dynamics of the institute, having the chance to attend a number of conferences and workhops, which were extremely important to get into the scientific community and moving forward my dissertation. For instance, during my 2nd year I presented my PhD proposal at the DRUID academy conference in Denmark.
A distinguishing feature of INGENIO lays in its multidisciplinarity of approaches and methods. INGENIO's academic, technical and administrative staff made a great difference in guiding my throughout the arduous but exciting process of writing and defending a PhD. INGENIO is also characterized by its international scope and its support to international exchanges. For instance, INGENIO helped me in being a visiting researcher at the Copenhagen Business School and at the University of Pisa, which helped me to develop my academic skills and collaborate with renowned scholars. Since 2014, I am a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Bordeaux, where I still maintain a close collaboration with INGENIO.
