ZEF Alumni Portraits

On the occasion of its 10 year anniversary, ZEF will high light some of its former doctoral students.

Our students come from all over the world. What they have in common is that they want to qualify themselves in a professional and personal way, to be able to make a contribution to sustainable and human development in their home countries. Each student has his or her own personal success story to tell and each of them can be proud of his or her achievement.

On this page we would like to share their experiences with you during the coming months.
