ISOS Alumni

ISOS Alumni are spread around the globe

Keeping in touch with alumni of the ISOS programme is important to us. Via regular newsletters, networking opportunities and their involvement in ISOS activities, alumni coming back bring a world of experience that is constantly used to improve the programme.

"Some of the most enlightening things I have experienced during my doctoral research came from panel discussions organized by the ISOS."

Alumni help bridge the gap between the active doctoral phase and options in professional life thereafter. First-hand experience can help doctoral candidates to accept and master the many challenges that lie ahead.

ISOS activities featuring alumni include
> Retreats
> "From Doctorate to..." seminar series
> "Meet the Alumni" events
