OUR Blog
At CENL we believe in and defend scientific dissemination, in all formats.
And with this blog we want to go even further. We want to talk about your studies, we want you to tell us about your day-to-day life at work. We want to talk about your experiences with the Dutch education system, what it is like to live here and what it is like to return to Spain.
Your input (and comments) are always welcome. In your CENL profile you can indicate if you want to participate in the blog.
Do you have any questions? You can write to Aitor Tejo Otero, editor of the blog.
