We are starting at 6:00 PM in the auditorium in Zollikofen. Around 7:30 PM we will move on to an apero riche, and from 9:00 PM we can enjoy the legendary student Sommerfest outdoors - with dancing and various bars.

HAFL Alumnae and Alumni from the fields of Agronomy, Forest Sciences, and Food Sciences are taking the stage to share their 'After-HAFL Story' — with a wink. 

Take this opportunity to get to know or see again the current students, lecturers and staff of your former specialization, and find out what topics they are working on and which projects are looking for partners. Meet former classmates again, hear what occupies them today, and discuss your challenges.

We expect many visitors, and the number of participants is limited.
Registration costs CHF 50. Students and staff of HAFL, as well as members of the 'Alumni BFH-HAFL' association, have free access. The annual membership fee in the association «Alumni BFH-HAFL» is CHF 100 - registration is worthwhile: Become a member | Alumni BFH-HAFL
