Swissnex in China has been playing an active role in the Swiss university alumni activities in the Shanghai area. We support the establishment of alumni chapters in China and help Swiss universities to set up an “Alumni Desk” in our office to help their alumni community.
Swissnex in China has been playing an active role in the Swiss alumni community in China. We support the establishment of alumni chapters and other alumni activities. Below you can find the contact information of active alumni chapters/groups in Shanghai.
If you are an alumnus or alumna of a Swiss public university now working or living in Shanghai and its surroundings, you can contact the respective alumni coordinator or chapter head to get connected to your former schoolmates and keep updated about the activities of your alumni group.
If you cannot find your school on the list and want to build an alumni chapter/group in Shanghai yourself, get in contact with Swissnex in China and we will be happy to help you!
More than 3,000 alumni from about 25 Swiss higher education institutions are currently based in China.
Every year, Swissnex in China holds the Swiss Alumni China gathering and offers a platform for this large community to connect. The gathering is an opportunity for the alumni to share some fond memories from their time studying in Switzerland and engage with new members of the community. We hope to provide a quality setting for the alumni to connect and strengthen the ties between them, thereby spreading Swiss values.
Swiss Alumni China can be traced to the very first alumni event organized by the Swiss Embassy in Beijing in 2008. Over the years, Swissnex in China hosted a number of alumni gatherings in different cities.
