Alumni meeting
Wageningen Alumni Event, 21 November 2017, Brussels, Belgium
We were glad to invite all our Belgian alumni to the Alumni Event held in Brussels on the 21st of November 2017.
We were very happy to have been able to invite alumni once again to the workplace of one of our alumni, Ermis Panagiotopoulos. He showed us his workplace, the European Federation of Bottled Waters (EFBW), and discussed with us the main topics the EFBW is dealing with.
