Finishing the research

The research is still in progress. So far, we wrote the first two chapters, but to complete them we are waiting for the rest of the interviews. While doing the interviews with Dutch universities, we encountered the problem of time management. It took too much time to organise and wait for the responses. Having said that, we decided to send a questionnaire to the foreign universities, and we are now receiving the first reactions. As soon as we have all reactions, we will be able to complete the first two subsections of the analysis and continue with the last one. 

The 18th of May we have a mid-term examination of the work by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and we are very curious to see their opinion on our work. If everything goes as planned we are going to present the final research in the end of June. 

So far the research has been a good experience, even though we had some difficulties at first with establishing the topic. Once the general idea was clear, everything fell into place. An interesting part of the research was of course the interviews we did. We encountered different opinions on the topic of student mobility that were very useful for us. 

Working in a team is always challenging, but I am sure that the finalisation of the research is going to make us look back at the difficulties with a smile.
