A day later, another iEMFC Graduation Workshop – but this one took place in our Tapijn buildings. 29 June was an important day for Jean-Paul Göbel (Heerema Marine Constructors), Jochem Köhler (FrieslandCampina), Marloes Wigger (Rabobank) and Jingxiao Zhao (Van Hessen).
 
The board, consisting of Prof. Dr. Alexander Brüggen, Drs. Dafir Kramer, thesis supervisor of Jean-Paul Göbel, and Jos de Visser RC, member of the iEMFC Advisory Board, highly appreciated the fact that all four candidates did their very best as their presentation was concerned, being discussant for another candidate and the Q&A and interaction. This was rewarded with final grades of 7 and 7.5 (out of 10).

A workshop is a weighty event that comes with some healthy tension. But when positive results are revealed, it’s time to pop the champagne and have a little party! Well-deserved after a few intense years in the iEMFC program, including a challenging thesis. A fitting end to an era for all of you! Click here to see a few pictures!

Congratulations to you all, and the best of luck in future endeavours and your career! Enjoy your free time to spend with your families!

Let’s not say farewell but goodbye; let’s stay in touch!
