Exchange and preparation for the acn annual alumni conference
On 9 and 10 February, the members of the acn expert working group "International Alumni Work" met for a workshop at Paderborn University. Representatives of RWTH Aachen, TU Berlin, TU Darmstadt, TU Hamburg, HS Rhein-Waal and Paderborn University worked together on a planned contribution for the annual alumni-clubs.net conference, which will take place in Vienna in early May 2023.
In an intensive, creative and collegial exchange, the group developed the framework and content of a panel discussion with the working title "Partners or competitors - alumni relations in times of international alliances". The format will be further developed by the group until the start of the conference and appropriate speakers will be invited for the panel discussion.
