The MEL Class of 2024 has just crossed the finish line, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. To each and every one of our graduates: you’ve amazed us with your grit, your creativity, and your sheer determination. You’re not just graduates to us – you’re the future leaders who will reshape the world of logistics.

A huge thank you to Karin Govaert, CEO of Rivermaas, for the truly inspiring keynote. We are immensely grateful for your presence.

We also want to shine a spotlight on two exceptional students who have truly excelled at MEL. They’ve demonstrated unwavering commitment and excellence, earning them prestigious awards.

– Ngoc Nguyen snagged the MEL Best Thesis Award, presented by A.P. Moller – Maersk Line Netherlands B.V. This award recognizes outstanding research in the field.

– Devara Bagas Hanandityo wowed us all with the Student Excellence Award (awarded to the MEL graduate with the highest overall grade), presented by Stolt Tankers. This prestigious honor celebrates exceptional academic achievement throughout the programme.

We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Wouter den Heijer from A.P. Moller – Maersk Line Netherlands B.V. and our very own MEL Alumna Ioanna Christodoulou from Stolt Tankers for joining us in celebrating these achievements. Your presence and support mean so much to us and our graduates.

To our Class of 2024: You’ve made us proud with your drive, your smarts, and your teamwork. You didn’t just pass a tough programme – you’ve set yourselves up to make waves in the industry. We can’t wait to see the incredible things you’ll do. Go out there and show the world what MEL graduates are made of!

The MEL Office has the pleasure to announce that the first formal Alumni Event will be held in Athens, Greece on June 26th, 2015.

Should you wish to register for this event, please send an email to lefel@ese.eur.nl.

Please find below a personal message from Christos Varias, MEL Region Manager of Greece, who is looking forward to welcome MEL Alumni from all over the globe to the first formal MEL Alumni Event.

“Dear fellow Alumni,

Studying at MEL gave us all the opportunity to not only explore and broaden our knowledge about shipping but also to make good friends and hopefully colleagues one day.

The MEL faculty has taken the initiative to strengthen the MEL Alumni Community in several ways and one of it was to appoint one MEL Alumnus from each country as the Region Manager of that particular country, hoping to strengthen the bond between MEL Alumni living and working in the same region as well as to welcome visiting MEL Alumni to their region. Taking this opportunity, I would like to invite all MEL Alumni living and working in Greece, but also all MEL Alumni who might be in Greece on the 26^th of June to the first formal MEL Alumni event in Athens.

The event will take place at ‘’Ark restaurant bar’’ at Asteria Glyfada, Grigoriou Lampraki 2, on Friday 26 of June at 18:30.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Best regards,

Christos L. Varias

MEL Regional Manager of Greece”
