Yamen El Moghrabi - Student at University of Balamand
"My feedback regarding the ERASMUS international mobility is that it was an incredibly productive 2 months worth trip to France as I have developed academical and social skills through interfacing with the people at the receiving organization and also with people whom I have met on a daily basis".
Jennifer Chebel - Student at University of Balamand
"My internship in the framework of the Erasmus program was useful to me.
I have learned what it is like to work independently, how to successfully solve any problem I face. And how to depend on myself. In addition, it was a great opportunity for me to live abroad, which was also very pleasant. The environment in which I worked was very friendly. This is one of the many reasons why I enjoyed my internship".
Rasha Massoud - Student at University of Balamand
"The 2 months training were an unforgettable prime opportunity to expand my knowledge base at the academy and social level. It exceeds my expectations of how beneficial it was to me personally. In brief, unique chance worth getting out of your comfort zone to broaden your horizons especially in the most extraordinary place in the world. I would never hesitate in saying yes again to such opportunities".
Jihad Abou Daher - Student at University of Balamand
"Hope you are doing well. Concerning the training it was very beneficial to me to be part of the project done at the IUT de Cachan. Mr. Jean Yves Le Chenadec and the technician Mark were always by our side to guide and help us. This training made me more familiar with using electronics and solar panels. The only problem was the language, most of the staff in the IUT didn't speak English so my friend who knew English had to translate everything. Regarding France it is an amazing country with beautiful places".

The Erasmus+ International Credits Mobility program allowed Richard and Anass to do an internship in Lebanon, the first as part of his DUETI and the second for his DUT Geii internship.
Richard: "My mission is to carry out in one year an autonomous agricultural robotics project that will take care of a medicinal plant plantation, lemon balm. The objective is to produce educational material in collaboration with teachers, using innovative technologies and developing a new kind of training, which combines agronomy and robotics.
Anass: "My mission is to carry out the two-dimensional mapping of an agricultural field to follow the evolution of the field thanks to a camera fixed on the robot, manufactured from by Richard from scratch with many recovery parts, but also purchased. I have many tools made available by the University, workshops where we can use laser cutting, milling machines, etc., which will also allow me to help Richard in the realization of his robot.
