From the moment I arrived at Hanken, I was warmly welcomed by the whole team. This hospitality made my integration seamless and allowed me to immerse myself quickly into this new working environment.<\/p>\n<p>Hanken is a dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment. It is the perfect place to engage with the research community from different disciplines and to reflect on my own research. I attended several seminars but one of the highlights of my stay was the research seminar where I presented the progress of my thesis work. The discussions that followed were particularly enriching. The feedback from researchers, of very high quality, allowed me to refine the concepts used in my research and clarify the trajectory of my work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 14.4pt 0cm 14.4pt 0cm;\">In<br \/>\naddition to the academic benefits, I also had the pleasure of discovering the<br \/>\ncity of Helsinki. Helsinki is a unique, beautiful and human-sized city, easy to<br \/>\nvisit by bike. The city is a blend of nature and sea, where life is good. I<br \/>\nimmersed myself into the Finnish culture during Vappu, I spent hours before<br \/>\nsleep admiring the sky&#8217;s colors (even though I didn\u2019t get the chance to see<br \/>\nNorthern Lights yet), the beauty of the trees, and the brightness of the sun.<br \/>\nThe city\u2019s museums, library, and architecture gave me a deep dive into Finnish<br \/>\nculture, make me discover Hugo Simberg\u2019s art and Mika Waltari\u2019s books (thanks<br \/>\nto Johanna and Pia). I experienced unique Finnish traditions such as sauna<br \/>\nafter skiing in Lapland, and the stunning natural landscapes. There was still<br \/>\nso much to do, but time flies!<\/p>\n<p>My research visit at Hanken has greatly nourished my thesis journey while broadening my cultural horizons. I had professional support from the well-established researchers at CERS and shared advice and experiences about the PhD journey.<\/p>\n<p>This experience is truly memorable, and I am grateful for the opportunity that was given to me to immerse myself into this stimulating environment. I\u2019ll surely see my Finnish colleagues again at events we will both attend in the future, and I look forward to it. Thank you all for having me! It was a real pleasure!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;\"><b>Anissa Fedji<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;\">Doctoral researcher<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">Universit\u00e9 de Caen Normandie | UNICAEN \u00b7 Institut d&#8217;Administration des Entreprises (IAE)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the month I spent at the CERS research center of Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, I had the opportunity to enrich both my academic and personal experience.
