Throwback to last month’s memorable TNC Morning Run!
🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃 53 participants from the global Research & Education Networking community joined the 6km run across the Grand Park of Tirana and along the shore of Tirana's artificial lake, right before the start of #TNC23.
Will you join our runners next year at #TNC24?
Arjan Xhelaj, Director general of RASH, the Academic Network of #Albania, was awarded the Medal of Honour by the Vietsch Foundation for his dedication and commitment to the Albanian #NREN .
We talked to him about his plans and vision for #research and #education in Albania 🇦🇱
