Alumni Projects by AlumNode Members
From connecting arts & mathematics to bridging the gender gap in STEM
Interdisciplinary Collaborations
AlumNode is all about joint projects and interdisciplinarity: on the platform and during regular events we encourage community members to connect, match and develop ideas together. During the open call for AlumNode project funding, you can apply and receive up to 5.000€ for your joint project.
Project leaders will have the opportunity to present their results and share their experiences with the AlumNode community. Also, they will get access to digital workshops on leadership, project management and career tools.

Pankaj Paranwal, Project Leader "eVidya"
AlumNode Project Alumnus: Funding Period 2019/2020
Pankaj Baranwal and his team collaborated with the Bal Vikas Montessori School, a community-run school in India to find out the effects, impact and feasibility of introducing interactive e-learning courses in the curriculum at elementary level of education.
"Doing good, valuable and impactful research requires a lot of time, effort and dedication. By removing financial constraints and providing constant mentoring and feedback, AlumNode has provided a sweet spot for young researchers like me where we can focus on doing quality, meaningful research instead of worrying about the financial constraints or not having anyone to talk to about our progress."
Again, our AlumNode alumni managed amazing projects based on their research fields or even beyond, reaching from workshops on "Mental Health in Academia" to the development of a device for "Animal Tracking".
