The DAAD-funded program IMAT Global Alumni Network 2.0: Expert Training for Sustainable Change is entering its next phase.
Following a successful reunion in 2025, as well as productive exchanges and valuable discussions with selected IMAT alumni and network partners, we have developed a range of network initiatives. These aim to strengthen connections within the community and provide continuous learning opportunities, alongside various ways for you to actively engage in this collaborative network.
