18 March 2024 - Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Marie Curie Alumni Association Conference 2024, hosted at the University of Bicocca in Milan. The event was a convergence of brilliant minds, fostering discussions on various aspects of professional development, As I reflect on the enlightening sessions and engaging conversations, I am compelled to share my insights from this enriching experience.

One of the standout sessions of the conference was undoubtedly the session on narrative CV writing. In today's competitive job market, crafting a compelling curriculum vitae is essential to stand out among a sea of applicants. The session delved into the art of storytelling within a CV, emphasizing the importance of showcasing not just one's qualifications and experiences, but also the narrative behind them. By framing achievements within a broader context and highlighting personal growth, attendees gained invaluable insights into creating CVs that resonate with potential employers on a deeper level.

I also particularly enjoyed the sustainability session, which offered a thought-provoking exploration of environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility. As the global community grapples with pressing issues such as climate change and resource depletion, the imperative for sustainable practices has never been more urgent. Through engaging presentations and interactive discussions, attendees gained a deeper understanding of the multifaceted dimensions of sustainability, spanning environmental, social, and economic considerations. From innovative green technologies to corporate sustainability initiatives, the session provided a holistic perspective on building a more sustainable future.

Beyond the informative sessions, the conference provided a great opportunity for networking and disseminating the objectives of the EDISENS project. Connecting with fellow attendees, ranging from esteemed academics to seasoned professionals, was both inspiring and enriching. The diverse backgrounds and expertise represented at the event facilitated meaningful exchanges of ideas and fostered potential collaborations that have the power to drive positive change in various fields. Moreover, the vibrant atmosphere of the University of Bicocca in Milan served as an ideal backdrop for the conference.

I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this global community of scholars and innovators. I look forward to applying the knowledge and insights gained from the conference to make meaningful contributions in my field and beyond.
