The alumni section is hosted by the African Excellence Alumni Network (AEN) and has been created specifically for former students of the Centres of African Excellence. Share your profile here as it allows you to network with other DAAD alumni, professionals, potential employers, NGOs and international agencies. This space also encourages discussion amongst alumni and allows for the planning of alumni activities as well as the development of research projects. Regular use of this space will allow alumni to establish their reputation as African experts in various fields of study. Furthermore, it allows the Centres of African Excellence to easily contact their alumni and track their career progress. Regular contact between a centre and its alumni offers the potential to help Centres evaluate and improve their programmes as alumni can be consulted with regard to their academic programmes and other activities.
