We will all agree that 2020 was defined by the covid-19 pandemic that shook the whole world.
For our community this pandemic meant cancellation of internships and studies abroad, loosing jobs for some of our alumni and review of professional and travel plans for others, no offline gatherings and a lot of ideas - realized and not - for online events!
