"Thank you very much for the excellent organisation of the Future Leaders Forum 2010 in Frankfurt. I really enjoyed being a part of such a great project. As a student, you sometimes feel not being taken seriously by the industry you aim to work for in the future. IMEX-MPI does such an excellent job in showing its future generation that the industry cares, which boosted my motivation very much." Christina Vier, Fachhochschule Worms |
