BIGSS Maintains Close Contact with Industry:
An important objective of our graduate school is to maintain close contacts with industry to train our students according to their needs. To emphasize the importance of a close partnership with industry we have extended our board of industry mentors who agreed to participate in our events and to provide advice to our students regarding industry-related question. At present members of the board reflect a broad diversity of positions in industry, including top-level managers and consultants.
