| Career Service visiting Institut Pasteur in December |
Looking back at this year, we came to the conclusion that there are too many highlights making it impossible for us to choose. The most rewarding to us, the team at the Career Service, is all the positive feedback we get from students, PhD students and researchers - a definite highlight. Thanks for attending our events, all the blogposts created, emails sent and for being so supportive!
Now we look forward to a peaceful and joyful holiday. You should also take some time out from studies and work; spend it with family, do sports and other fun stuff. See you all again in 2018!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Anethe, Emma and Kerstin
