Testimonials from Research Participants
Letícia Moura
Master in Marketing IPCA - Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave, Portugal
"My participation in the workshop was a very enriching experience. It was the first time I attended an international conference and I can say that I felt very welcomed. The hosts of my session were very friendly and responsive, gave good advice and tips for improvements in our work. If the first edition has already brought such positive results, I believe that the next ones will be even better."
Jiyoon An
Ph.D. in Business Administration | Assistant Professor of Marketing Fayetteville State University, NC, USA
"The workshop was extremely helpful, as the leaders were knowledgeable, resourceful, and kind. I was able to identify what are the weaknesses and strengths in my research and how I can remedy them. This workshop would benefit those working on establishing an independent scholarship."
Mounia Moumen

It helped me enhance my technical skills as a future scholar indeed."
