The prize for "Educational Performance", offered by Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania, was awarded to Cristina Stere, a PhD student at the Faculty of Agri-Food and Environmental Economics of ASE Bucharest.
„The award for "Educational Performance" at PhD level is a recognition of my efforts and my commitment to my field of study. It is a confirmation of my passion for research, but also that my work has been appreciated. As for the expectations of this award, although I dreamed of such recognition, I was surprised when I was named the winner. Support in the academic world is crucial. Without strong support, guidance and communication I would not have got here. The money I won is an incredible boost to further invest in my personal development," said Cristina Sterie.”, a declarat Cristina Sterie.
