"Being approved for the USF International Fellowship proved to be a pivotal moment in my career, offering a much-needed boost of stability and opportunity following the completion of my PhD. It was crucial to have nine months to concentrate on publishing and presenting my work in high-impact journals, during which time I was also able to foster interlocution and consolidate a network of exchange with international urban researchers. The Fellowship has created many positive consequences and opportunities for the development of my career and academic skills, and I am confident that this mark on my professional journey will be very valuable in the long term."

Dr Deborah Fromm, International Fellowship
