Highlights 2020: Working as a Dutch person for Ireland in France

It's time for a retrospective: the year 2020 has been greatly affected by the health crisis, but the daily life of the unit has been punctuated by many events that have allowed us to maintain a link between the members of the laboratory, and to continue to move forward together. Each week, we will share a highlight of the past year!

I am Floor and I was born and raised in the Netherlands. Last year I arrived in France to work here for three years, however, my employer is Irish. An awesome collaboration between three European countries, but also a challenge. Apart from practical difficulties, this is also a great opportunity to learn. Because, even though France, Ireland, and the Netherlands are all Western European countries, the cultures are really different.
Every day feels like an adventure. The French with their quirky habits, the Irish with their overly politeness, and me, the Dutchman observing it all. There is something new to learn every day!
