Alumni around the world

The Alumnil network extends across more than 100 countries worldwide. It is a diverse community of members from various backgrounds and professional experiences, representing multiple generations of Unil graduates.

Regularly, invitations to events organised by Swiss institutions abroad are sent to our alumni living internationally. These events provide opportunities to build new connections and expand one’s professional networks in the country of residence.

Welcome Abroad

The Welcome Abroad service helps connect students leaving for an international study exchange, or members planning to relocate, with local contact persons (relay persons).

These relay persons are network members permanently residing abroad who are willing to provide practical information about their city or region. Thanks to them, students receive advice and recommendations each year to help with their travel preparations.

Contacting a relay person

Complete the form by indicating your destination and departure date.

Alumnil members can also consult the Alumnil platform directory to connect with alumni living abroad.

Furthermore, there are HEC Alumni Clubs in several international cities for graduates of this faculty.

Becoming a relay person

You live outside of Switzerland and are willing to share practical advice about your city of residence?

The Alumni office team will put you in touch with someone seeking information. You will then decide how to communicate (email, phone, or video call).

If this opportunity inspires you, contact us!

Where are the relay persons located?

Currently, there are 150 relay persons spread across 138 cities in 48 countries worldwide.
