The CRG held its first ever PhD Graduation Ceremony, to mark the achievements of the Class of 2016.
 
On December 16, the CRG organised its 1st PhD Graduation Ceremony for PhD students who deposited / defended their Doctoral thesis in 2016. The Class of 2016 is composed by 41 students from all the CRG scientific programmes.
 
The Ceremony took place on December 16 at the PRBB Auditorium. It was a touching ceremony including talks and testimonials from CRG representatives, alumni and students.
 
Davide D’Amico, CRG alumnus from the PhD Class of 2013 and current Chief Executive Officer at Zeclinics, S.L., was the invited speaker to give the official lecture. His talk together with Juan Valcárcel’s closing remarks were absolutely inspiring speeches for all the attendees.
 
“Graduation is a huge milestone and we wanted to take this moment to celebrate and reflect on their accomplishments,” states Imma Falero, Academic Programs Coordinator. “It is our hope that the skills we tried to impress upon the students will help them make choices that will allow them to reach their full potential,” she continues.
 
The CRG is happy to start a new tradition and to take time to recognise and be proud of all their accomplishments. We are certainly proud of you!
