.benefit from the network

Networking is becoming
ever more important. Whether in professional or private life, a
well-connected network of contacts to persons and institutions
forms the basis for success and effective action. The alumni
association sees itself as a major point of convergence within
the university network where alumni, students, instructors,
departments and their specific alumni associations can
connect.
Contacts abroad and for
people from foreign countries. With special programs, we
are developing a large-scale, multidisciplinary alumni
network that also extends beyond national borders.
Among
three other universities and six extramural research
facilities, the University of Siegen was awarded by the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for its extraordinary
concepts and its research alumni-strategies.
Program 'Forscher-Alumni': The
Alumniverbund and the department of international services
jointly organise a platform for exchange and networking of
guest researchers, alumni and scientists of the University
of Siegen including several offers.
The individual
departments and their alumni associations are integrated
into this major network. The general alumni association
supports their activities. Through the departments, you can
maintain close connections with your field.
In addition to networking in departments and associations,
we also bring you into regional groups at home and abroad. We
are currently building groups in Berlin, Hamburg and China with
contact persons from our network. Further groups in the regions
Rhine / Main and Cologne / Bonn are planned.
Through the “Who is Who” database of our
online alumni portal, you can make and maintain contacts.
The prerequisite for using the database is that you, as an
alumnus/a, a student, a former or current staff member, are
registered in the alumni directory and are thus part of the
university’s alumni network.
The alumni association perceives itself as
a network of networks. It provides the alumni with a
platform for exchanging information and maintaining contact
with their university. Interconnections between
departmental groups are also established. The alumni
association’s partnerships with other networks ensure an
efficient exchange of information.
