The Alumni Network of the University of Strasbourg: an international and multidisciplinary community of excellence
Our history and vision
Created on 2 October 2012, the Alumni Network is much more than a mere directory of former students. This vibrant ecosystem connects generations, promotes professional excellence and strengthens the international influence of the university, while offering employment opportunities for young graduates.
The network embodies values of mutual assistance, knowledge sharing and innovation that define the University of Strasbourg’s humanist spirit. It focuses on four key areas: sharing experiences, supporting students and young graduates, contributing to the University’s community, and developing a lifelong network.
The foundations of our network
The Alumni Network centres on fostering a true sense of belonging to the University of Strasbourg. This shared identity grows stronger by the diversity and unique characteristics of its departments, faculties, and schools, which together contribute to the richness of our university.
Our network thrives through the active involvement of various stakeholders: the 35 departments and their leadership teams, dedicated Alumni representatives, and associations, notably the Society of the Friends of the Universities of the Strasbourg Academy. The Alumni Relations Service oversees this vibrant ecosystem and works closely with the University of Strasbourg Foundation.
