We encourage our international PhD graduates to keep in touch as they often work in difficult conditions or in professional isolation. The GHI strongly supports its alumni by creating a network through collaboration, face-to-face encouters and also a growing LinkedIn- and Facebook page. Through this network, alumni are able to communicate and exchange ideas. They are informed about international research opportunities as well as teaching activities. Upon request, GHI provides alumni with articles, books and other scientific information, advice with regards to organizing regional meetings, and assists in the development of research proposals.
Below you can find summaries of finalized and defended proposals (from 2012 onwards):
