Recap of the year

December 19, 2025

We are looking back at an eventful year 2025.

As 2025 is coming to an end, we are taking a moment to reflect a wonderful past year. 

This year was quite eventful: Among other things, we visited seven companies, got to welcome past colleagues at our memorable Alumni meeting and celebrated the graduation of four of our students.
