Could you briefly introduce yourself?
My name is Sakina Mohamed, and I am the Mobility Officer at SupBiotech. I began my career as a biotechnology engineer, working in Research and Development, where I gained valuable scientific and technical experience. Over time, I realized I wanted a role that was more people-oriented and internationally engaged, allowing me to contribute through collaboration and meaningful action. This led me to join SupBiotech, where I now work in the Mobility Unit. My role is to create opportunities for students and staff to study, teach, train, and collaborate beyond their home university. Through UNIgreen, I am proud to support international cooperation and academic mobility.
Can you share a concrete way in which UNIgreen is having a positive impact?
One thing I really like about UNIgreen is that it gives students and staff more opportunities to work and learn with people from different countries. Through exchanges, training activities, and shared projects, participants can discover new ways of teaching, learning, and collaborating. These experiences help them develop new skills, build international connections, and gain a broader perspective. When they return to their home university, they bring back fresh ideas that can benefit their colleagues and fellow students. I think UNIgreen is making higher education more open, more connected, and more collaborative, while encouraging everyone to learn from each other and grow together.
What’s a lesson you’ve learned from working with such a diverse and international team?
One of the biggest lessons I have learned is that everyone has something valuable to contribute. Working with colleagues from different universities and countries has shown me that each institution has its own experience, ideas, and good practices to share. By listening to different points of view, we can improve our projects and find better solutions together. I have learned that there is never just one right way to do things. Collaboration is about being open, learning from each other, and combining our strengths. I believe this diversity is what makes UNIgreen stronger and helps the alliance continue to grow and succeed.
If UNIgreen were a plant, how would you describe it?
If UNIgreen were a plant, I would describe it as a tree. Each partner university is like a strong root that helps the tree to grow. The branches represent all the works between countries and people working together. As we collaborate, the tree becomes bigger and stronger. Later, it produces fruits that represent the results of our work.
