 What students say “One of my targets in my LUMID application was work -

ing in a development project in my country and 6 months

after the graduation, I was riding in a UN mission ve -

hicle, conducting eld research in the villages of south-

east Turkey as a specialist in an internationally funded rural development project. LUMID, well beyond my 

expectations, provided me knowledge, understanding,

real eld experience and broad perspectives about the

development sector.”
