AstroMundus Alumni
A large fraction of AstroMundus Alumni obtained PhD or other academic positions at various institutions around the world. Some of them have already successfully completed their doctorate or are going to complete it soon. In many cases, alumni of the earlier editions are continuing their career as postdoctoral researchers or university assistant professors. Some alumni chose to exploit their acquired skills for a career outside academia.
Here we maintain a list of the AstroMundus Master theses with the graduation dates of AstroMundus Alumni and information (when available) on academic or other positions they obtained after graduation. We also provide links to videos of seminars (when available) our alumni are invited to give at our Consortium Universities.
Edition 1, Edition 2, Edition 3, Edition 4, Edition 5, Edition 6, Edition 7, Edition 8
Some of our Alumni have shared their stories on the AstroMundus Facebook page here and here.
Graduates from the AstroMundus programme can register for membership to the Alumni-Network of the University of Innsbruck.
