Philosophy and missions

Whether you have just earned your degree from Unil or have already built a rich professional career, the bond with your alma mater is undeniable.

To nurture and sustain this connection, the Rectorate of the University of Lausanne offers its alumni a unique network, available to them throughout their lives. Its main missions are to:

  • connect alumni through an exclusive and dynamic network
  • facilitate career transitions and professional growth
  • promote lifelong learning and keep knowledge alive
  • maintain a strong bond between the institution and its alumni

Exchange, sharing, and reciprocity are the key words that drive our network. We offer a variety of opportunities, including networking events to support professional integration, conferences to discover the latest research, and last but not least campus visits to reconnect with the university. All of them aim to place human beings at the heart of the exchanges.

In our eyes, Unil alumni represent the institution throughout the world. Given their experiences and talents, they can inspire and become a resource not only for the younger generation, but also for the institution, which takes it to heart to implicate them in its evolution.
