We know that G3 students have graduated in September 2008 in Barcelona, Spain. Some of them are now pursueing their PhD, some of them are working in Europe and in some other locations. Their up-to-date information is already uploaded on the platform as we aim to keep track on where the EA buddies have gone in the world. To learn more about them, please go here. Those graduates for which there is "no information" status marked at the web-page, please email eaaa_cb@yahoo.com as soon as possible. The web-page will be updated with your current locations which will help us all stay in touch.

Last year we have gathered CVs of Generation 3 to place them on the EA platform. Having the CVs on the internet helps the representatives of the industry to choose people for the professional practice for the fourth semester. We would like to have the CVs of students by the end of November 2008. For G4 students some of the CVs have already been placed here, and for G5 students - here. However still not everybody's CV is there. Students are advised to send their CVs to eaaa_cb@yahoo.com and the EAAA administrators will help to upload the documents. Please make sure that you check your CV throughly before sending it to us. Please pay particular attention to the spelling of words in English and the grammar.

We had our 11th Coordination Board meeting of EuroAquae in Budapest this year and two of our G4 representatives were there representing the students and the feedbacks from the Coordination Board were recorded and prepared by G4 students Florianne Dubonnet and G5 student Zhou Yi.
