Around 120 students - not only PhD, but also undergraduate students - attended the event.

In the following part Ms. Dr. Kremnser informed about her daily business as a chemist as she has been working at Anton Paar for seven years after completing her PhD at the university of Graz. Moreover, she gave an overview of the career opportunities for chemistry graduates at Anton Paar.
