On the 24th of April at 6PM, you’re more than welcome to join us at 2B.56 in the Spui Campus for an inspiring evening where current students will have the opportunity to connect with previous MAIR alumni from Leiden University.
First, our speakers (from a variety of MAIR specializations) will kick things off with a short and insightful introduction about their career path, experiences, and life after graduation. Then, get ready for a speed networking session, where you’ll rotate in small groups between speakers.
Panel
The event will begin with a panel featuring MAIR alumni, who will share their experiences from their respective specializations:
- Pia Kurz – European Union Studies
- Raya Chakarova – Global Political Economy
- Tanja Maier – Global Conflict in the Modern Era
- Dimitar Borumov – Global Political Economy
- Malena López Bremme – Culture and Politics; Global Conflict in the Modern Era
- Jana Vinkel – European Union Studies
- Reva Kulkarni - Global Political Economy
What to expect?
Each speaker will kick things off with a short and insightful introduction about their career path, experiences, and life after the MAIR programme. Then, get ready for a speed networking session — you’ll rotate in small groups between speakers, giving you the chance to ask questions, hear different perspectives, and have real, personal conversations.
In the second part of the event, we will come back together for a more open discussion, where alumni will share career tips, practical advice, and reflections based on their experiences after the MAIR programme. This is a great opportunity to ask broader questions and gain insights to help guide your own path.
Whether you’re still figuring things out or already planning ahead, this is your chance to connect, explore, and get inspired.
