"In August 2019 I spent three weeks at BOFIT. I particularly benefited from the research seminars and the numerous one-on-one conversations with BOFIT and visiting researchers from which I collected a long list of new ideas I’ve been working on since. I felt welcome throughout; for example, I joined the departmental yearly retreat and was able to, among other things, discuss organizational challenges with colleagues from across the department. Finally, being away from the usual routine allowed me to focus and get much done during a short period of time. Thanks, BOFIT!"
