For undergraduates, this type of event encourages students to carry out more academic research. “I learned a lot from this experience of going to Conpedi, and it's also good to get recognition for the research we've been developing for over a year. This type of Congress encourages us to always seek new knowledge, after all, human beings are constantly learning.” Explains Victoria.
