- Last year I went to the conference of Ducati, where they talked about their philosophy to be competitive in motorsports. I didn’t know that latter was part of a sequence of seminars, but, because of the good impression that I had, I decided, if possible, to attend this conferences the following year.

sorry for the terrible late … It was indeed an exciting experience, but at the same time quite challenging! I hope I can answer all your questions.
First of all, I had a study grant from the Engineering Faculty of Bologna. You can apply twice a year. Basically, I had to arrange the whole on my own. I identified a few Universities I was interested in. I wrote several emails to different professors. I had a few positive answers among which I chose Oxford. The professor asked me to send him my CV and a reference letter from my tutor in Bologna. Following, I had to find a topic that could fulfil both my Bologna and Oxford professors expectations. Once my project was approximately defined, I applied for the study grant. Next, I arranged my staying in Oxford. Luckily, my Oxford tutor helped me in finding a room in a Trinity College accommodation. Finally, I left. When I was there, I immediate joined his research team which helped me in familiarizing with the Oxford life. Students activities gravitate around colleges, and it took a while to get involved, but it was definitely something unique. Moreover, a part from Oxford University facilities and laboratories, I had the possibility to use external huge laboratories like the ISIS neutron spallation source.
I have to say that arranging everything took a lot of time, but it was absolutely worth one's while!
I’ve been quite general, just ask me for more detailed information!
