  20. TNA: Its about People, not graphs "OPTICON gave me the unique opportunity to familiarize myself with the WHT telescope and the AF2/WYFFOS spectrograph. Without OPTICON I would not have been able to afford the cost of the trip. I wish all the young astronomers had the same funding opportunity as I did.“ Vallia Antoniou. University of Crete, Greece “The OPTICON Access Programme have enabled me to join the observations with a big solar telescope for the first time. I think that OPTICON Access Programme enables the younger scientist to support their own observation campaigns”.Jan Jurcak. Astronomical Institute. Czech Republic “The OPTICON support was fundamental since I would not have had any funds from my Institute and I could not have gone observing otherwise. The Access Office was very helpful and friendly providing me an excellent support. Sabina Sabatini. University of Wales, United Kingdom
