“During my internship with Eurosif, my biggest accomplishment was the creation of a comprehensive research database from which I conducted a study and collected data to present to my supervisors. I also learned a lot about an international workplace: to be mindful of the culture around you and the opinions they might have that differ from yours.”- Chris, Intrax Alum, Eurosif Intern
