Add to calendar
The VIB Alumni Series is a brand new initiative of VIB. These networking events will precede the major VIB Conferences and are organized to stimulate the interaction between the VIB alumni and the current VIB staff. We only invite alumni of the organizing VIB centers and the current VIB staff.
Our first VIB Alumni Series evening will take place on 6 December starting at 17h30 in Leuven, preceding the VIB Conference ‘Emerging Applications of Microbes’. After a one-hour session of scientific/career talks by selected alumni, you are invited for a networking drink to (re)connect with your (former) colleagues.
