DoSChem Alumni and Alumnae
The DoSChem alumni programme is open to all graduates when leaving the UniVie Doctoral School in Chemistry.
With this programme, we aim at connecting alumni with each other and current members of DoSChem, the Faculty of Chemistry, as well as the University of Vienna and at fascilitating mutually beneficial relationships.
Calling all DoSChem Alumni!
- Receive our newsletter updates
- Get invited to special school activities: student symposium or students “Stammtisch”
- Help with mentoring and support with student-driven company field trips
- Provide advice to the next generation of graduates
If you are not currently listed and would like to be, please get in touch with us at dos.chem@univie.ac.at. We would love to add your profile!
