Alumni meeting

Did you study at KINGS and find yourself hoping to reconnect with favourite professors or friends you have met along the way? Don’t worry, your journey with KINGS doesn’t end when your studies do.

At KINGS, we deeply value all our students, whether you participated in the summer school (NYSP), joined us for a semester or year-long exchange, or completed the full master’s program.

That’s why we decided to organize alumni meetings!

This year, the first gathering took place in June when we held a meeting in Prague for all the Czech and Slovak alumni, with over 30 participants from CTU, BUT, UWB and STU. The most recent meeting took place on September 11 in Pilsen, where KINGS representatives attended the Nuclear Days conference. 

We are delighted that once again, we were able to welcome so many alumni who are eager to stay connected. These meetings reinforce our belief that our students are satisfied with their time at KINGS, and that is why we continue to support them in their further studies and career paths.
