Alumniportal Deutschland is a non-profit online social network of "Germany Alumni" – designed for anyone from around the world who has studied, researched, worked or completed a (further) training or a language course in Germany or at a German institution abroad. The portal is a networking platform for both the professional and private field. It is open to any and all international Germany Alumni, regardless of whether or not they received a scholarship from one of the many German scholarship organizations, participated in an organized study abroad program, or enrolled directly in an institution. The use of Alumniportal Deutschland is free for individuals and businesses.
The project is administered by a core group of five major German organizations, supported by strategic partners and financed by the German Federal Government.
The Alumniportal Deutschland is available in both English and German. The communication language within the community is arbitrary.
Alumniportal Deutschland offers Germany Alumni the opportunity to build and deepen their contacts to other Germany Alumni as well as to German and Germany-related institutions, organizations and businesses.
In addition to community features, the website offers an international job & career market, information on training programmes and events around the world, an editorial part with articles on culture, society, education science & research and economy as well as online German language training tools and webinars on current topics.
Alumniportal gives participating organizations access to a global network of contacts with a direct connection to Germany as an addition to their own alumni activities and recruiting efforts. The website enables businesses to connect to employees, experts, or potential partners.
Alumni relations efforts for study abroad and professional development organizations in Germany have historically been limited to each group reaching out to their specific alumni. However, approximately 80% of people from abroad who study or undertake professional training in Germany – a total of roughly 14,000 people per year – are “free movers”, organizing and financing their own program. Trying to get in touch with these free movers was a complicated and often fruitless effort.
