| Postdoc in Leipzig |
| From January 2002 to July 2004, I have worked as a postdoc researcher at the Leibniz Institut für Länderkunde in Leipzig, Germany. The project I have been working on was called 'Growth poles in the metropolitan periphery and sustainable development'. The project was sponsored by the Marie Curie Host Fellowship programme of the European Union. This programme encourages young postgraduates to work abroad for some years, and stimulates knowledge transfers within the EU as well as between EU countries and candidates for EU membership. |
