Today reality hit hard… We received an e-mail that the IMEC consortium (representatives of our program from Oslo, Dublin, & Malta) will meet here in Malta in less than two weeks from now. This isn’t a surprise of course, but it’s still going to be on all our minds.

We will be presenting our research proposal  to the consortium along with our 1st and 2nd preference regarding the country/institution where we would like to conduct the research. I’ve been working on my research proposal and am much happier with it then I was back in Dublin. But choosing a country is quite painful. I know, I know. It shouldn’t be painful, I GET to decide where I would like to do my research. What an opportunity! But I don’t enjoy the thought of the IMEC family getting separated 🙁
