ICGEB Trieste is organising the second International Alumni Meeting to be jointly hosted by the three ICGEB Components (New Delhi, Trieste, and Cape Town) to be held in the Area Science Park, Trieste, Italy.
The meeting will allow us to recognise our alumni who have been successful in their careers and will provide an opportunity to meet with their former mentors. It will further highlight the achievements of ICGEB alumni and represent their contributions to science and society. It will also provide a platform for our current and past students and staff to interact.
Close to 100 participants from host and Member States are expected. Approximately twenty Guest Speakers from the three components will present their current work and recount their experience at ICGEB as students. Additionally, guest speakers from ICGEB will discuss alternate career options.
There will be a poster presentation by current ICGEB Trieste students, as well a brainstorming session dedicated to the Alumni, who will discuss ways to strengthen the connection between annual cohorts, to keep this network alive and shape the format of future alumni meetings.
A separate session will be held for the current students to directly interact with ICGEB alumni. All “ICGEBians” are set for the great events.
ICGEB is consolidating actions for the Alumni to come together periodically and participate in a free-flow exchange of ideas on science, and to contribute towards the further development of ICGEB.
This meeting will bring together prominent alumni from the three Components to further consolidate ICGEB’s International Network of Enterprise Specialists.
The event will also mark 40 years from the establishment of the Organisation in 1983.
Our Alumni are the measure of our success and having with us so many leading scientists coming from all over the world will be a wonderful occasion. I personally cannot wait to see again many colleagues and friends and to see the great impact that their work is making for the benefit of mankind. – Lawrence Banks, ICGEB Director-General
