For academic communities
Alumni – important partners
Academic communities at NTNU have a wealth of opportunities for working together with former students to achieve strategic goals in education, research and innovation.
Examples include work experience for students, bachelor’s and master’s theses, cases and research projects. Alumni also open doors to national and international working life.
The central NTNU Alumni team can help to build alumni activities at faculties and departments. A range of initiatives in partnership with alumni have been tested successfully and can be launched locally at NTNU.

Alumni can
- extend your network and open doors to collaboration with relevant players in a variety of sectors and industries
