The Alumni International Network

The Alumni network of the Politecnico di Milano
counts over 155,000 graduates who have been
awarded a degree between 1940 and today (94,000
engineers, 50,000 architects and 11,000 designers).

Around 20,000 of them live and work outside Italy. They meet through local chapters and associations based
all around the globe from Canada to Singapore. Groups in Europe and North America in particular are deeply
rooted and engage hundreds of Alumni on a monthly basis, with targeted events and workshops (Paris Chapter
alone counts over 300 members). They also provide valuable connections with local industries and institutions
thanks to the professional networks they have created through the years.
Alumni abroad and are ambassadors of their Alma Mater and of the “made in Italy” way of thinking. Politecnico

and a resource for Italy and the ecosystem we are in.
