We welcome two talented interns from Greece to our trial station in Berge! Elias Katsas and Nikolina Vidalis bring fresh energy and a wealth of knowledge to our team as they gain valuable experience in agriculture.

Nikolina Vidalis is a PhD student and agronomist from Greece with a Bachelor in Agricultural Sciences and a Master in Vegetable Crops. Like Elias, she has also spent the last 4 months at our experimental station as part of the Erasmus+ programme. Nikolina emphasises the importance of her experience: "IASP-Berge offers an incredible opportunity for my field of study under practical conditions. I am sure that I will use all the information I have learned here for future agricultural careers. Also, during this experience I have worked with people from the experiment station and with people from other countries, which has made it easier for me to think and work as a team. In the end, I have met important people who have given me very unique, helpful and interesting skills not only for my profession but also for my life."

Elias Katsas is a farmer from Greece with an impressive academic background. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science and a Master's degree in Vegetable Gardening. Elias has spent the last 4 months at our institute as part of the "Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs" programme. In his own words, he shares his experience: "All in all, I strongly believe that IASP-Berge has been an incredible opportunity for my field of study under practical conditions. I am sure that I will use all the information I learned here for future agricultural careers. Also, during this experience I have worked with people from the experiment station and with people from other countries, which has made it easier for me to think and work as a team. In the end, I have met important people who have given me very unique, helpful and interesting skills not only for my profession but also for my life."

The presence of Elias and Nikolina has enriched our experiment station and strengthened our mission to advance pioneering research in agriculture. We are proud to have provided them with this opportunity and look forward to following their continued success and contribution to agriculture.
