Sweden alumni relations – Connect with future and current leaders and decision makers Log in and apply Photo: Magnus Liam Karlsson Photo: Magnus Liam Karlsson About this toolkit Strengthen relations and business ties between Sweden and the outside world by working strategically with alumni. This toolkit includes guidance on how to build lasting relationships with alumni.
Target audience Sweden alumni and SI alumni.
How to work with Sweden alumni relations Alumni relations is all about creating engagement and recognising people that want to keep a professional connection to Sweden or help you spread information about Sweden.
We encourage you to hold alumni activities, to maintain a relationship with alumni. There is no generic recipe for what alumni relations at a diplomatic mission should look like. Size, resources, cultural context and other local factors will affect the way you approach alumni engagement. Start with inviting alumni to your events and then aim to launch a local alumni network that are run by alumni volunteers!
Sweden Alumni Strategy Guide Download guide (PDF 2 MB) Strategy guide To support you fully, the Swedish Institute has developed the Sweden Alumni Strategy Guide. The guide explains in detail how you might start working strategically with alumni relations and how to maintain good relations with your alumni.
If you have any questions regarding the guide or alumni relations in general, please contact the SI Alumni Team at alumni@si.se . We would love to support you in your journey towards having a thriving local alumni network in your country!
Arrange activities with financial support from SI Swedish embassies and consulates can apply for financial support to host an alumni event. The purpose of the event should be to increase engagement within the local alumni community. All Sweden and SI alumni in your country should preferably be invited, but other arrangements are also ok. You can obtain a list of contact details to alumni in your country by contacting alumni@si.se.
After your activity has taken place, we request that you send us the following reporting materials:

Who are Sweden alumni? Photo: Magnus Liam Karlsson The Swedish Institute’s definition of Sweden alumni is people that have
studied or done research at a Swedish university (with or without an SI scholarship) participated in any of the Swedish Institute’s leadership programmes studied the Swedish language taken part in Sida’s International Training programmes or similar programs. It could also be other leaders and opinion makers who have connections to Sweden.
