Members and members of the Alumni Association meet to share their knowledge, experience and professional interests. They will do this in a 20-minute presentation or lecture. Asking questions and discussion will be an integral part of the “Mosaic,” for which 40 minutes will be spent. After the content part, there will be a networking part. This will be the time to make new friends and consolidate the ones already made.
We want “Mosaic – sharing of experiences” to become a permanent part of cooperation between Alumni, to which we will also invite partners and friends of our Association. We will meet to share experience, inspire each other, and perhaps create joint projects or organize new events.
