ABSTRACT / This is the first of a series of events inviting PERG alumni to talk about their academic experiences, career choices and advice for master and PhD students. The aim of this speaker series is to connect PERG alumni with current students by creating a friendly atmosphere for students to get acquainted with different experiences and potentially find some answers to their concerns. We therefore welcome all interested students to join our informal roundtable discussion designed for knowledge sharing and raising questions regarding career prospects, area choice, thesis writing, job/funding applications, and so on.
