IOB Alumni Seminar
Having studied at IOB, you probably returned to your country or discovered new horizons elsewhere,
where you - hopefully - have been able to use some of the new insights and knowledge you acquired
during your study at IOB. We would like to keep in touch with you and learn about the interesting
work you have been doing.
Opportunities
& events
IOB would like to hear from you!
On the 31st of May 2016 IOB is organising our fourth alumni seminar. A lunch presentation
seminar will be organised to host a presentation by an IOB alumnus/a to share his/her work with
IOB students and staff. The purpose of the seminar is to inspire current students, to inform
staff about your work and to show how your IOB education has benefitted your future career.
We would like to hear about the actual impact your work has had, but also about obstacles and
problems that needed to be overcome to achieve the desired results. The seminar will be part of
the ‘Life after IOB’ day, in which several information sessions on opportunities for alumni and
graduating students will be presented.
Applications are invited for scholarships for the
short training programme on ‘Strengthening
National M&E Capacities and Use'
