CHNT Connection:

When I began a stable activity as a university researcher, I started looking around for more than just working in the Florentine pool. At that moment a print on a table in the office of the PhD coordinator arrived in my hands, it was the call for the CHNT 2006. The period, the subjects, the program were too interesting to miss the participation. Most of all reading “informal farewell at the Byeronimous” was revelatory… “if they close the conference drinking beer, these people know how to live”. It was a revelation, I kept on participating year by year since then.
