Invitation to all Bachelor EPH alumni to participate in an online Brussels Excursion on Friday, September 23, 2022

Dear all BEPH Alums,

We hope that you are well!

Many of you will fondly remember the Brussels Excursion from your first year of the EPH Bachelor’s degree. Unfortunately, it was not possible to make the trip to Brussels in person during the pandemic, and it is still not possible to visit the institutions easily. So, as we did in 2021, we are conducting an online excursion to Brussels again this year for our first-year students of BEPH.

This gives us a great opportunity to invite our graduates to join in and meet the new students and the staff. Like last year, we will use an easy and dynamic interactive platform to do the virtual excursion.

PLEASE JOIN US!!

This year’s virtual Brussels Excursion will take place on Friday, 23 September, from 09.00-12.00h.
The morning will have some videos about the European Institutions and some interviews with alumni about their experience of Brussels and the EU institutions.
There will be breakout rooms where you can meet the students and talk about your own experiences of European Public Health - reminiscing about the old days, and sharing your experiences of working in the field.

Because it’s online, we can have as many people as want to come - there’s no limit.
So we hope that you’ll want to 'return' virtually to Maastricht for this event - it will be great to see you again, and the students will be very grateful for the opportunity to meet you and to talk to you.

Please register your interest by sending an email to
[email protected]
Log-in details will be sent to you by email after registration.

With all good wishes,
Inge Houkes
