I would like to thank the developers of this comprehensive programme and our lecturers in ScHARR, who are very competent at their profession. They all have been very helpful during this difficult period. I would also like to thank my classmates in the HEDM course for their warm friendship. It has been very fruitful to discuss and share information with them. Due to the pandemic, we all experienced unprecedented difficulties. Therefore, I believe all the staff of ScHARR and my friends in HEDM achieved great success by completing the 2019-2020 academic year."
