CONNECT
The CONNECT alumni network brings together alumni from all degree programmes, teaching staff and current students to form an interdisciplinary community. The network fosters exchange, sparks inspiration and creates new impulses for both personal and professional development.
CONNECT stands for meaningful encounters, knowledge transfer and a vibrant community that extends far beyond the degree programme.
Network & Community
