Participating in the CRISCO conference in Paris was a formative experience that significantly enriched my doctoral research. Presenting my work on Élisabeth de la Trinité's mystical discourse allowed me to engage with leading scholars in discourse analysis and theology, while gaining valuable feedback that will inform upcoming chapters of my thesis.
The funding provided by RIDT made this international academic exchange possible, offering both visibility and growth opportunities. It was particularly encouraging to see my work appreciated in an international setting, and I returned motivated, with new ideas and potential publication prospects. I wholeheartedly recommend this grant to fellow researchers. Ludwig Camilleri, PhD student, Faculty of Arts, Awardee from the fifth call for the RIDT Doctoral Student Overseas Conferences Grants
