The most important yearly event of the UNITECH alumni association was a definite success. We would like to welcome the 61 new (associate) alumni into our midst and hope they will value their membership in the upcoming years.

The annual reunion marked a lot of highs:

• The hot-topic discussion on 'Climate Change' gathered alumni as well as academic and corporate partners, and made us all consider the goals of politics with respect to economic evolution; but also understand the view of big new-comers like China into the whole climate change debate.
• Another lively debate took place afterwards in the basement of the Vertex Building, namely the UAA General Assembly. The discussions about the future of the UAA, the financial status, our special project, etc. will be summarised in the GA minutes, and will be sent out to you soon.
• The UAA Graduation party took place in a VIP room in the Sunset Dance Club, which was also located in the Maremagnum. Not only the new students and the alumni were to be found on the dance floor, but also corporate and academic partners were enjoying the beat.
• The brunch on Saturday took place at the beach of Barcelona. Nice food, a lot of water, and the occasional sand storm made us fit for a relaxing afternoon.
• The cava tasting event gave us insight into the world of bubbles, tastes and luxury. 6 different cava's were presented by an expert and wine consultant from the Costa Brava, and even though Cava is not Champagne, we now know that this is just the matter of price.
• And for the die-hards ... a biking tour throughout Barcelona... The perfect end, to a perfect weekend.
