What the fellow says:
"Using this fellowship, I learned a great deal in an advanced research institute in a developed country, did advanced research and transferred its results in the form of new technology to my own country. In addition, the fellowship was a way for me to communicate with top researchers in an advanced research institute and it has offered me new possibilities for conducting joint, high-level research in the future."
