Myths and reality of gastro-adaptation
International Student Support Centre together with the InterView team present the second series of controversial interviews - "The myths and reality of gastro-adaptation: to eat local food or to look for a way to cook the usual one?"
InterView is an open discussion with other HSE students where you can act as a speaker or an interviewer (ask questions of the speaker). InterView will give you an opportunity to discover a lot of strong ideas, meet new people and learn about the best practices of HSE university in just 60 minutes.
