Blog Post - Early Career Researcher 
Secondment with the Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark

In my experience, temporary assignments or secondments can be really cool for secondees and host institutions. You get to expand your knowledge, develop new skills, and gain valuable experience working with professionals in a new environment. Likewise, host institutions get fresh perspectives that can develop new and improved work practices. It is a win-win situation for everyone.
