The IPB University Alumni Diaspora in the Netherlands was established on October 19th, 2022, at the Indonesian Embassy in Den Haag. IPB University has a strong alumni network in Indonesia, and to further strengthen connections for those living abroad, our aim is to connect alumni members internationally and support our alma mater. We serve as a bridge between IPB alumni in the Netherlands and Indonesia, acknowledging the long history of students pursuing their studies and careers in the Netherlands. Our community primarily comprises Master’s and PhD students, but also includes researchers and professionals working in the Netherlands. We regularly organize gatherings to foster fellowship and support not only alumni in the Netherlands but also those in Indonesia who aspire to pursue higher education in the Netherlands. Our activities and events include Alumni Talks on Instagram Live (also available as Spotify podcasts), the Wageningen University and Research (WUR) Open House event in Bogor, and the Diaspora Mentoring Program. At the end of this year, we are organizing the 1st Indo Agri Career Day with WUR to facilitate Indonesian and international students seeking internships, research opportunities, short course exchange programs, and employment in Indonesia by attracting industry sector participation. Additionally, we are promoting IPB Connect, a digital platform and database designed to connect our widely dispersed alumni digitally.<br />
