From October 17, 2022 to December 16, 2022, I did an internship at Wageningen University & Research (Netherlands).

The internship allowed me to broaden my knowledge in the fields of nutrient management, soil-water interactions in agriculture, and the movement of biogenic pollutants in the environment. Thanks to work in the laboratory, I have developed the ability to operate modern machines and analytical devices, which I have not had the opportunity to use so far.

During the internship, I performed the tasks assigned to me by my supervisors, including: conducting laboratory analysis, performing statistical analysis and preparing reports on conducted research.

Me preparing a report on the conducted experiment.

I worked in a young and experienced team – Duurzaam Bodemgebruik Team – Wageningen Environmental Research. During the internship, I had the opportunity to independently plan and conduct an experiment on nitrogen turnover and migration in the environment. Working with scientists dealing with water management provided me with new ideas for extending my PhD research.
