"Forests and people’s hearts are Earth’s most precious treasure. MEDFOR helped me build and deepen the connection between these two things in so many different (and pleasantly surprising!) ways that I could only wish future students will feel inspired to pursue this road.  Nearly three years after graduation and happily working as a forest governance and economics specialist in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, I can honestly say that the whole MEDFOR experience played a key role in allowing me to follow my vocation and grow as a human being!"

"I was recruited by University of Adigrat, northern Ethiopia. I am acting in the university as lecturer and research. I teach different courses for undergraduate students, for instance, plant physiology, biometrics and agro-forestry and others. Besides, I am also doing research in agriculture and forestry thereby helping my country's development. The skills, knowledge and experiences that I gained from my MEDFOR study is greatly helping me to doing my job in teaching and research effectively. "

I am a PhD student at the University of Washington, School of Environmental and Forest Sciences. I work on integrating climate change into forest management planning.

" MEDfOR will be my passport to mitigate climate change scenarios, and hence making the planet Earth into a better place to live in."

 "MEDFOR is an exciting combination of great new friends, trips to beautiful forests, interesting lectures by international professionals in the forestry field, and amazing new countries and diverse cultures. It also opened my eyes to the many different topics that the forestry field covers."

"MEDfOR is an another brick of the wall. It’s a viewfinder, be aware of through observation and act as a guide to travel along the Mediterranean gulf…!!!

"I have lived to the excellence and have learned to dream far beyond my imagination. "

"For me MEDfOR was a key to new beginnings, new experiences and knowledge that I believe made me more conscious and environmentally aware. Now I am lucky to have the MEDfOR Family. "

"The best experience, the people I met"

"I enjoyed moving in countries and universities, became a highly efficient packer, cultural ambassador, and savvy traveler."

 "I graduated in Mediterranean Forestry and Natural Resources Management (MEDfOR). This prestigious international program helped me to shape my career path to become a highly qualified forestry professional. I had the opportunities to earn a depth and up to date knowledge in the field of forest ecosystem management under global change. This also facilitated to interact with the talented good soul from all over the globe through winter and summer school session. In view of such experiences, I would say MEDfOR is a tool to make the earth greener for combat the climate change. On the social part, I had great opportunities to enjoy beautiful Mediterranean landscape and climate, to meet foreign people, their food, language, and culture. This extraordinary two-year program is giving me courage, inspiration and guidance to walk for future.  "

"MEDfOR: Eye opener from the international community view point." 

"Time flies, I feel I was admitted the MEDfOR Programme just a short time before. The two-year’s living and studying abroad is a precious memory in my life.
MEDfOR: Meet in Mediterranean region, Enjoy the university life, Do what we can for Organizing forest and natural resources, Recover our mother planet.  "

Learning more than just forestry. MEDfOR is a lesson of life."
