I am Damiano Cesa Bianchi, a Ph.D. student from the University of Pisa, embarked on a visit to Lancaster University’s Accounting and Finance department, as part of the EAA ARC International Ph.D. Visit Scheme. The experience proved to be a catalyst for intellectual growth and personal development. Engaging in a range of activities, including attending the AcF862 PhD Seminar on Advanced Accounting, participating in department seminars, meeting with supervisors, and interacting with fellow PhD students, I gained valuable insights that shaped my research journey.<\/p>\n

The meetings with supervisors played a crucial role in refining my research project. Seeking guidance and receiving feedback on progress, I benefited from their expertise and insights, shaping his research approach and methodology.<\/p>\n
Engaging with fellow PhD students created a sense of community and allowed for the exchange of ideas and best practices. Gaining insights into their research projects broadened my perspective and sparked new ideas for my own work.<\/p>\n
Overall, the visit to Lancaster University’s Accounting and Finance department provided numerous opportunities for intellectual growth. My critical thinking skills were enhanced, I stayed abreast of current research trends, received valuable guidance, and built connections within the academic community.
