Fišo participated in the REVALORISE+ training program for researchers and found it efficient, effective, and well-designed, rating it 5 out of 5. She plans to continue working on her Personal Valorisation Project, publish columns in a local journal and collaborate with local organisations to increase the impact of her research.
