Overall, it has been a great experience to be part of the ECHA traineeship programme and to learn from the people I have worked closely to during the 6 months of my secondment. I am also really excited for the coming steps of the SWACHE project and to continue my collaboration with this initiative to help understand people’s perceptions and preferences towards chemical exposure risks.
I would like to thank Roy Brouwer, Heini Ahtiainen, Christoph Rheinberger, Väinö Nurmi, Matti Vainio, as well as the Risk Management Units in ECHA and the SWACHE team, for this opportunity and for the valuable lessons I learnt from them. I am also thankful for the support from the EU Commission under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action – European Training Network (Project No.: 859891) during my secondment.
I would like to extend my thanks to the other ECHA trainees I met during my secondment for the good times we spent together and all we learnt from each other. Exploring the city of Helsinki and to get to know the Finnish culture together was a memorable experience.
