The Czech National Agency for International Education and Research’s initiative Study in the Czech Republic (STUDY IN) organised its first Alumni Networking Event on May 5 for international graduates of domestic universities, and former short-term study exchange, internships and summer school participants.
“The Alumni Networking Event is a part of the newly established Czech Republic Alumni program which aims to connect international alumni who have studied at Czech higher education institutions,” explained STUDY IN in a statement.
“The program’s goal is to foster a relationship between the Czech Republic and its international alumni”
“The program’s goal is to foster a relationship between the Czech Republic and its international alumni in order to support the internationalisation of Czech higher education and mediate job opportunities between international alumni and Czech public as well as private sector.
“It also allows alumni to share their experience with each other and with students potentially interested in studying in the Czech Republic.”
The inaugural event was held online and attended by around 45 alumni along with DZS representatives and partners.
“We hope to connect with all international alumni, build on their experience in the Czech Republic, and offer them meaningful opportunities for professional growth and networking with fellow alumni as well as our Czech partners,” Radana Zbořilová from the STUDY IN initiative explained.
“We plan to organise three more alumni events this year, one of them focused on alumni online networking and two of them will focus on alumni meet up (online or hybrid format) based on their current location.”
