" I like the course and I think that it is one of the most terrible and marvelous things in the activity of the researcher of the 21st century."
"Using the Internet means improving my 'symbolic' welfare state (increased feelings of freedom, independence, higher degree of satisfaction to one's almost instinctual need for novelty and diversity); also, introducing, into one's life, a new topic for reflection and questioning (including questions on the meaning of communication, and your very question on "the disadvantages associated with the use of Internet."
Researcher, Romanian Academy
" I can be aware of my professional level comparing with foreign research in my field. I have fast and efficient professional relations with foreign researchers. I can obtain quickly the information I need for a) a research I am working on and b) a documentary travel abroad (especially museums or libraries programs and guide books)."
Researcher, Romanian Academy
