Amgad Abazeed, a PhD student from Egypt

I’m Amgad Abazeed, a PhD student from Egypt specializing in structural health monitoring. Participating in the 2021/2022 Erasmus+ KA 107 student exchange mobility program at the University of Valladolid was an incredible opportunity. Initially, I was worried about traveling outside of Egypt for the first time, but upon arrival in Valladolid, I didn’t feel like a stranger. Despite the language barrier, the people here are lovely, and if you ask for help, they’re eager to offer assistance and support.

Valladolid is a serene and stunning city with all the necessary amenities, I enjoyed staying there. Also, working with prof. Antolin and the Structures Laboratory team members has been a delight. And I’ve had the pleasure of making new friends from Spain, Mexico, and Brazil. I’m grateful to everyone who helped me develop my skills and broaden my horizons. Finally, I would like to thank the International Relations Office of the University of Valladolid for the support and information that facilitated travel and accommodation.
