Following the opening ceremony, students were invited to a buffet reception, where they had the opportunity to have informal discussions with the Heads of the Doctoral Schools, the programme directors, the representatives of the PhD Student Union and to expand their network of student contacts. The PhD Student Union would like to thank the PhD Students, the Heads of the Doctoral School and the Corvinus Doctoral Schools for their participation and support in making the event possible.
