Course description
On December 12th 2019 the VLAG community will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the formal recognition of VLAG Graduate School and its first steps in 1994.
Focus of the celebration is on our credo: Excellence in research and postgraduate education.
What does it mean to you? A PhD programme, a platform to collaborate,... What do we need to focus on in the coming years?
We have invited the VLAG PhD council and two VLAG alumni, Dr Martine Alles (Danone) and Prof. Joris Sprakel (WUR), to trigger the discussion by reflecting upon their experience, and sharing their views about the importance of the PhD education for the future career steps whether in academia or industry.
Our parting scientific director will dwell upon his view on the Graduate School, while our future director will present her ambitions for VLAG.
