Дорогие организаторы, большое спасибо за Вашу работу и программу START. Мне понравилось всё: и идея программы, и её реализация, и сам ОИЯИ. Финансовый вопрос, жилищный, вопрос документооборота, всё продумано и очень хорошо организовано. Действительно, у меня была возможность не волноваться по таким мелочам и просто спокойно работать. Я однозначно буду рекомендовать моим знакомым в ЛЭТИ приезжать сюда в следующие года, тем более, как внезапно, для меня оказалось, отдельные лаборатории имеют с ним контакты и общие тематики.
Может были какие-то мелкие недочёты, но их я уже не помню, значит, не очень уж они и существенны.
Ещё раз, большое спасибо!
