Join us for an informal conversation with alumni of the University of Primorska who work in diverse fields and come from different faculties. Together, we will explore their career paths, personal experiences, challenges, and opportunities they encountered after completing their studies. The event offers inspiration, insight into a wide range of professional stories, and an opportunity for open dialogue with successful graduates. Following the moderated discussion, the gathering will continue with socializing and conversation over light refreshments.

Events organised by the Alumni Office team, involving alumni and professors from specific faculties, aiming to create a dynamic environment for meaningful discussions on contemporary and relevant topics, including fake news and conspiracy theories. The six sessions will take place throughout the year, with a moderator leading a structured discussion at each session, after which we will open the floor for questions from the audience and further informal conversation over a reception to follow.
