Alumni Testimonies

We feel rewarded at what our Alumni have been saying over the years, and we encourage the sustained connection of our network
  • After being given this mixture of opinion and impressions, I have discovered that there is no black and white, good and bad. I decided I must never again bring conclusions from one side, and that I will always put myself into shoes of a person standing in front of me!
    Visnja Cvetic - Serbia
  • It was great to have the former Egyptian Ambassador Dr. Shahin, Mr. Pilotto, Mr. Batakovic, Mr. Repasi and all the professors of TIAAS and the Forum. I also never expected to find students in Maich from Tunisia, Syria and Egypt, as well as Egyptians in Chania center!
    Noha Etiba - Egypt

    Mohammed Edris Ali - Kurdistan Region of Iraq
  • I feel inspired of this international summer school, glad about the organization of the TIAAS 2013 program. Happy because I met a lot of new friends and especially, thankful to all of you, because I learned something new. Always I say: Every new day is a new experience.
    Vlad Grujeski - Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
  • These two weeks were full of new experience, starting from my roommate who was from “distant” Asia (Iraq), to meeting new cultures, views, and also, learning about the world wide geo-political situations, which were interpreted by the one of the biggest experts in International Relations, History, Economics and Law.
    Damjan Jugovic - Bosnia & Herzegovina
  • I would be more than happy to join next year as an alumni and even help instructing since many of the topics covered (such as oil and gas) are part of my expertise.
    Rand Khalid - Kurdistan Region of Iraq
  • This experience will forever remain in my heart as well as Crete. It's nice to know that besides your own home there is still a place in this world where you'll feel like you are at your own house. I hope that this gathering was just first in a row of many, and until then TICKLS your brain!!!
