"...and now the only problem is how to spend the money..."(Dr. Lucio received a €26 000 grant.) ... "In the grant writing program I learned that finding money for what we care for is not impossible, and it changed my life because now I know that what is more is clarifying and sharing ideas and passions. Thank you to you and Plamena."
Dr. Lucio Varialle
