Alumni Management Excellence: Building University Capacity for Sustainable Graduate Engagement

10/01/2025 to 09/30/2028

ALMEX aims to transform alumni engagement in Ukrainian universities into a strategic tool for institutional growth, societal impact, and economic resilience. Alumni are an easy-to-reach yet underutilized resource, capable of driving change with minimal investment. This initiative establishes structured, scalable, and sustainable alumni engagement models, integrating alumni into university governance while actively involving them in student mentorship, career acceleration programs, and the modernization of curricula to meet industry needs. By embedding digital transformation - through GDPR-compliant CRM systems, data-driven dashboards, and online career accelerators - ALMEX ensures continuous learning, industry collaboration, and lifelong alumni involvement. Ultimately, ALMEX empowers universities to leverage alumni expertise for institutional development, enhance student employability through real-world insights, and align higher education with labor market demands, reinforcing long-term resilience and international competitiveness. Through regional alumni networks, particularly for displaced Ukrainian graduates, ALMEX fosters professional integration and sustained institutional ties. These networks provide career support and guidance, helping alumni navigate labor markets while staying connected to their universities. ALMEX also facilitates access to education through scholarships and training, ensuring displaced graduates remain engaged in higher education. With a strong policy focus, ALMEX embeds alumni engagement into national and European accreditation frameworks, ensuring systemic impact. By fostering cross-border collaboration and partnerships, the project builds a resilient, globally connected alumni ecosystem, securing long-term benefits for universities, students, and society.
