Twente

In January 2016, a group of UG alumni in Twente met for the first time. Full of enthusiasm, they decided to set up an alumni network in the region. With about 3,000 former UG students living or working in Twente, there is a lot of potential for a successful network. The circle wants to keep the connection alive with the University and each other. During the meetings, there is plenty of time to catch up with old friends or to make new contacts with fellow alumni. Furthermore, the circle invites interesting guest speakers who have a connection with the University, such as famous former students or scientists.

The next meeting of the alumni circle Twente will take place on Monday 8 April 2019. To receive invitations for these meetings, you can register for the mailing list.

"It is fantastic to meet or get to know so many old Groningers in Twente. Those few years of your life in the beautiful Groningen will also create a special bond after so many years in Twente. Through the meetings of the Twente circle, I keep abreast of the developments of the UG in modern times; always fascinating speakers and always a link between the UG and Twente." M..L.E.
