Volunteers are one of the two main actors of IVY, guess who is the other actor? Of course: host organizations! Curious to know more about “being on the other side”? What was the experience for our mentors Greta, Filippo and Alice from Eurac Research? Here are some questions you always wanted to ask, but you never dared to! How did you get to know about this programme? Greta: My colleague forwarded me the email with the call Filippo and Alice: I was informed by Sofia from Eurac’s internal Project Development Office Which was your first reaction to the IVY programme (be honest!)? Filippo: Oh cool! We can use it for the “dirty work” Alice: Great programme! Shame that our project is too “nerdy”
