Life after ILLC

Saturday, 20 May 2017

13:00 - 18:00h

ILLC common room

There are more than 20 generations of ILLC alumni out there in the world. But where are they? What kind of jobs do they have? What fascinates them about their work? And how did they get where they are today? Which career and life choices did they make on the way?

Six former MSc and PhD students will share their stories with us. Join us for an afternoon of listening to their experiences from academia and industry.

There will be plenty of time for socializing over a cup of coffee during the breaks. Afterwards we'll provide food and drinks. In order to have enough for everyone, please register here until May 6 if you are planning to attend.

I you would like to have more information, please contact one of the organizers: Yfke Dulek, Julia Ilin, Nadine Theiler, Bonan Zhao, Esteban Landerreche and Mostafa Dehghani.
