From process optimisation to development of healthcare products, new materials and sensors. The speakers represented very well the wide-ranging versatility of nanoscience graduates at iNANO Alumni Day 2019.

125 former and current Nanoscience students and iNANO employees signed up for the third iNANO Alumni Day which was held on 4^th April 2019. The iNANO auditorium was filled with former and current Nanoscience students and iNANO employees who came to become inspired and listen to Nanoscience alumni tell about their work places and job functions.

The Nanoscience alumni present at this year's alumni day nicely represented the top of the list of companies, which currently have the most employees with a bachelor's and/or Master's degree in Nanoscience from Aarhus University. Those companies include Novo Nordisk, Technological Institute, Arla Foods and CemeCon.

Below you can see the programme from iNANO Alumni Day 2019 and you can read more about the Nanoscience alumni who gave a talk this day.
