From  12.08.24 to 01.09.2024  I completed an internship at the Slovak University of Agriculture, Institute of Horticulture, Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering, Nitra, Slovakia. My scientific supervisor was Professor Ing. Miroslava Kačániová. The trip was carried out as part of the Erasmus+ program.

Slovak University of Agriculture, Institute of Horticulture, Faculty of  Horticulture and Landscape Engineering, Nitra, Slovakia.

The aim of the trip was to participate in scientific research, research and development work, learn new research techniques and exchange experiences.

Participation in foreign mobility also gave me the opportunity to improve practical skills in the field of microbiological analyzes of meat products using modern equipment at the University.

Laboratory equipment located at the University (Nitra, Slovakia).

Microbiological media used during the tests performed during internship abroad.

Apart from the scientific part of the internship, I spent my free time visiting the surroundings and the most interesting places, thus getting to know the culture of this region.

Participating in an internship in such a high-class scientific institution of international importance was an excellent opportunity for me to exchange experiences and deepen my knowledge and competences, which increased my scientific potential.  Additionally, going on an internship abroad improved my current language skills and will allow me to develop personally and establish cooperation with scientists from the foreign university.
