We are happy to welcome Péter Deák from Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem (Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest) in Hungary as our Erasmus + Intern. During the internship Péter is carring his research on comparaison of domestic PILs in Poland and Hungary and supports EPIL@JU in creating a database of EPIL - devoted projects in order to ease the access to online scholarship to our students. 

Péter explains: "Although I study law, I think feeling comfortable in an international and multicultural environment is not solely a mean to future career advancement. I firmly believe that meeting people from foreign countries and making efforts to embrace to cultures they come from is the most efficient way to widen our perspective. Developing an understanding of other cultures is not only advantageous when it comes to my studies: it contributes to becoming a more emphatic, open-minded person. I have been sure from the beginnings that at some point after my studies I want to gain a professional experience by working abroad. I am open-minded and value meeting new people, cultures and environments. I believe that the best way in achieving this and also to improve myself, my languages skills and my knowledge about legal systems, would be to travel as part of the Erasmus internship programme." 

He adds also: "It is a remarkable chance not only to work in a different law system but also to meet new people, get to know their values, their environment, their understanding of the law, the values they cherish and every-day life they have. As a result, I can get a different perspective on the legal issues they have which may differ from Hungarian ones, because of the vast differences in culture and history. Furthermore, this is a great opportunity to examine their local legal system from a wilder perspective. Due to the fact that I am a communicative person, I would like to share my experience and knowledge about my native law system, take part in discussions and debate about our separate legal systems with the local people with whom I would work.”
