20 years ago, the first students successfully completed their bachelor's degree in nanosciences at the University of Basel. This event not only marked a milestone for the still young, interdisciplinary study program, but also the beginning of a dynamic and successful development in research and teaching.

In a festive setting former and current students, lecturers and companions came together on 28 June to look back on the beginnings, appreciate the current program and take a look into the future. It became clear in the speeches that the nanostudy program still follows the lines established more than 20 years ago – but has also evolved enormously.

What has always remained is the interdisciplinarity and the excellent cohesion among the students – which was evident during this event. It was great to see what has become of the many alumni and how they network with current students. The AlumniNano organization makes a significant contribution to this.

A musical highlight was the performance by six nano students who impressively underlined how much creativity, excellence and cohesion there is in the nano community.

We would like to thank all participants, contributors and guests for this unforgettable evening. Here's to the next 20 years full of curiosity, collaboration and scientific discoveries!
