“It was a pleasure for me to participate in this scientific workshop in Turkey. I was deeply impressed indeed! We returned with a lot of new knowledge in the field of microbiology, brain cells, Nano techniques, DNA and GMO. I do hope that in the future we will also have the opportunity to participate in such international events. The program was very interesting; the organizers varied it by different entertaining games between the sessions, which was also very impressing.” – shared for Grandmufti.bg the 9^th grade student from Religious School – Momchilgrad Elis Raif, who was one of the girls that took part in the international symposium.
