Research Alumni Programme
The Research Alumni Programme was designed to serve international guest researchers and researchers of the University of Siegen as a platform for research and networking. Collaboration, Exchange, Network: We are continuing to extend the network with our research alumni so that we can provide special offers for them and to actively integrate them and their contributions into the scientific and alumni network of the University of Siegen. The Research Alumni Programme is a cooperation between the Welcome Center, the International Office of the University Siegen and the Alumniverbund, the Alumni Network of the University Siegen.
New Services: Portal and Community
Get in touch: Keep in touch
The Research Alumni Programme establishes new connections between researchers and strengthens the current academic community. A mobile information portal as well as a specific myAlumni information community have been created.

Keep in touch, share your
experience
We are focusing on direct exchange within the Research
Alumni Network and providing first-hand information to
this community. Due to this we are using different
tools (newsletter, social media etc.) and communication
channels on the local ("Stammtisch") and supraregional
level.
"Return for Research Grants"
The goal of this measure is to involve former
international researchers in the activities to
strengthen our global academic network, to initiate
further cooperation, and to support future academics at
the University of Siegen. Applicants can be professors,
private lecturers and academic consultants in their
role as host/hostess of the Research Alumni from any
department at the University of Siegen. Funding will be
prioritised towards applications which ultimately
propose sustainable research collaboration between the
alumnus/alumna and the host/hostess from the University
of Siegen. Thus, joint publications, external
fundraising and other such objectives will be viewed
favourably. The first application period has expired.
The second application period is currently open to
someone who is planning to visit from the 1st of April
2018 until the 31st of December 2018. You can download
the call here
: The Application Deadline is 12th of Feburay
2018.
