Graduation meetings

Past selection and graduation meetings Every year, ALGANT has two consortium meetings: a selection and a graduation meeting. After the application period for prospective ALGANT students, there are 4 weeks in which about 20 evaluators from the ALGANT partners rank all applicants. At the selection meeting a decision on the admittance of the students is taken. Beginning and end of the academic year do not exactly coincide for all partners, but mid-July is the canonical date for the 3-day Graduation Meeting, where all graduating students give short presentations on their master theses during the first two days. The final day has the Graduation Ceremony. ...
