I truly enjoyed this great experience being on a one-week staff mobility at Kuopio campus of UEF, together with two colleagues from our home university, the Pharos University in Egypt. The host university is gorgeous, I loved all the surroundings. Academic staff we met are so kind and amazing. Hopefully my pictures tell more. Nancy […]

And here is why you should definitely, definitelyyyy visit that magical region. 🙂 Lapland is a region that spreads through three countries, namely Norway, Finland and Sweden.
