Spain - Alumni
NTNU Alumni Spain
A network for all our former students living in Spain.
It is a social and academic meeting place – a shared arena where you can become involved as an NTNU person.
The ambition is to have a large and active network where a strong NTNU identity means that members are good ambassadors and partners for their alma mater. Members should be a resource for NTNU and for each other. The network aims to link NTNU with business and society in Spain to enhance cooperation and contribute to developing more knowledge for a better world.
NTNU Alumni Spain organizes a variety of social and professional activities. It is an outstanding arena for keeping in touch with NTNU. You will get many opportunities for updates in your field as well as networking and teamwork.
Sign up and get involved together with your NTNU Alumni fellows!
My best interview - Cécile Barrère
Dr. Cécile Barrère holds a Ph.D. in petroleum engineering and applied geophysics from NTNU. She works as an EU project manager and business developer at R2M Solution. Her work at R2M Solution is divided between research and industry, which she got tested during the doctoral period at NTNU and it's a role she enjoys.
Cécile's position at R2M is about supporting the innovation work of scientific societies to help society to move forward in the energy transition.
My best interview - José Ramón Sierra Blasco
