Alumni Network Italy

UU welcomes a large amount of Italian students every year. Also, UU is coordinator of the NIKI in Florence and participates in the KNIR in Rome. The UU Alumni Network in Italy brings together a vibrant community of graduates. It’s a place to reconnect, expand your network, and share ideas with fellow alumni. Mostly activities take place in Rome, but will be expanded to other Italian cities in the future. The Italy alumni network gathers around 2-3 times a year.
