“Science does not recognise borders, nations or nationalities. It is a universal tool, which provides better understanding of life and the world around us. Working in international collaboration is something I would recommend to every young PhD student and that's why I support the Youth on Move project as an Ambassador”.

Marko Košiček

“My experience of living and studying abroad has made me a citizen of the world. I believe that every young person should be encouraged to have a richer multicultural exchange, something that is only possible when one is on the move. Therefore, I consider myself privileged to be a Croatian Ambassador in the Youth on the Move campaign".

Tamara Gal

“Youth on the Move o�ers young people many opportunities: to move around in Europe, to study abroad, to volunteer in a di�erent cultural milieu or to obtain work experience in a foreign setting. Young people need to know about these possibilities and make use of them”.
