objectives and character

networks consist of different individuals, who meet personally or via internet

networks are generally open for all interested and committed persons

the objectives of networks are determined by the common interest of their participants

the objectives are achieved through exchange and cooperation: to give and take

networks offer access to valuable information, allow participation in (networking) events, offer chances to find partners for cooperation

voices of our alumni

"An alumni network and a conference like this provide me with the opportunity to network: I got to know so many experts. On the other hand 'life long learning' is an important aspect here. Participating in alumni seminars really keeps me up to date." Carlos Orbegozo from Peru, October 2008

alumni network

"I use the alumni network to receive further training and provide others with the same opportunities to get new information. That's the reason I join and support the RE@Lnetwork in Ecuador. The support of InWEnt is something like my fuel. It makes me go on. So, i.e. InWEnt's e-Learning platform, the Global Campus 21, is very important for us. It's practically our office." Dominique Burau from Ecuador, coordinator of the RE@L network in Ecuador, October 2008



initiative by our Alumni

networks need continuous input and the commitment of our alumni

define objectives of the network

define input and ways of communication

define competences

documentation of members, topics, projects, partners

find opportunities to not only meet virtually

create added value (i.e. seminars, research)

'marketing' to attract relevant partners
