About AlumNode

AlumNode is a global alumni network with an interdisciplinary community made of researchers, experts and science communicators. Our network brings together fellows and alumni of a variety of programs and institutions all funded by the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS).

The aim is to help researchers, experts and science communicators from various disciplines to connect, engage, empower and get funded!

We offer interactive workshops, input on various topics related to academia and business, informal networking events, funding opportunities for joint projects and a peer mentoring program.

AlumNode is a collaboration between the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS), the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF), and the German Scholars Organization (GSO).
