Events for all Alumni

  • Seminars - Ongoing-Formation-Events (OFE)

For most of the alumni/ae the place where they are, is first and foremost defined by their family and professional life. Those two environments are the main focuses of their every day life, and for that reason this is also the place where they really can be men and women of depth, men and women with others and men and women for others.

Fully aware of the diversity of professional backgrounds in which alumni/ae can be active, ECJA is organizing seminars aimed at alumni/ae who are professionally active in their fields - banking & finance, medical sector, law and real estate & construction - to discuss topics of practical, scientific, ethical and spiritual interest regarding the meta-technical aspects of the practice of their profession. The discussions are preceded by an introduction by a professional and/or an academic.

Although the events are primarily aimed at alumni/ae who are professionally active in their professional field, it is also open to non-alumni/ae with a similar professional background, who are interested in the topics that will be discussed and to students in disciplines that prepare for a professional activity in this sector.
