Alumni Seminar:
November 2017
8 Nov
On 8 November 2017, IOB will organise an alumni
seminar in Kampala. The exact location and timing
are still to be confirmed. In the afternoon, the
alumni seminar will feature several presentations
from IOB staff and alumni. Afterwards a network
reception will be organized. Promises to be
interesting and fun… so save the date!
IOB Impact Award!
Who has really made a difference? Which alumnus/a has been able
to translate what he/she learned at IOB into a genuine added value in
‘development’? This is the question that drives the IOB Antwerp alumni
seminar. Alumni can apply online to present the work they have been doing
and what changes this work has brought about in society or in the lives of
others. The review committee selects one alumnus/a whose work has really
created ‘an impact on development’ to come to Antwerp to present his/ her
work in person to IOB staff & students. This student will receive the IOB
Impact Award. Other projects that are positively evaluated by the committee
(i.e. have had a sizeable development impact) but that were not selected are
presented as a poster during the poster reception. In previous editions, some
of these applications have also been introduced to Belgian organizations who
are potentially interested or have been selected for the UAntwerpen Christmas
‘good cause’ funding.
