In the Spring Term of 2022, LifeWatch ERIC is funding a three-month exchange abroad for three students of the e-Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sciences Master’s degree (EBES), which it hosts with the University of Salento. In this first instalment, the students talk to us as they prepare to carry out their internships at the Ionian University in Corfu, where they will apply the skills they have developed during their degree. Marco Elia, a Master’s student of the e-Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sciences (EBES), will learn how to develop a citizen science tool application.
