Congratulations
Life after IOB
On Thursday 25 June 2015, the day of the
IOB anniversary party, we organized two
complementary events. First, an information
session was organized for graduating students
(and alumni) on opportunities for ‘life after IOB’. A
general presentation on how to finance research/
PhD and several information booths provided
information on PhD, consultancy, internship
opportunities to interested students. As the
information event was also combined with an
alumni meet and greet, it provided an opportunity
for graduating students to talk to alumni as well as
alumni to reminisce about the good old days …
