The aim of the alumni film project is to showcase the diverse and in some cases unusual career paths from 50 years of scientific development at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. Initiated by the Freiberg Graduate and Research Academy (GraFA), produced by the Media Centre and supported by the Freiberg Alumni Network (FAN), the following portraits have been created. The selected alumni all completed their doctorates at the Bergakademie and many also studied here previously. They represent all faculties of our university.
