INFO

It has long been a DKFZ Alumni tradition to host an annual reception focusing on a specific region for current and former DKFZ employees. Since 2014, we have already focused on India, China, Latin America, Italy, Turkey and Egypt. This year’s Alumni Iberian Peninsula Reception is being organised with the support of DKFZ colleagues from Spain and Portugal.

 

WHY ATTEND?

  • Reconnect with fellow DKFZ Alumni and current researchers
  • Celebrate the diverse roots of our community

  • Enjoy an evening of fun, culture, and food
