Presentation of the Alumni Chapter Argentina
The Alumni Chapter Argentina was founded in 2003 with the aim of contributing to the development and exchange of experiences between former IDEC and UPF students. With the understanding that one thing we all have in common is having completed training at UPF, either on postgraduate or master’s programmes at IDEC or other degree or master’s programmes at UPF, we here at the Alumni Chapter Argentina would like to take advantage of this common experience to maintain and extend our contacts with those students who have returned to our country.
This network of former students is enriched by the experience of every former student who joins us and takes an active part in our meetings. So why not get in touch with us and help us to strengthen our Association?
How many of us are there?
At present there are almost 300 IDEC alumni from Argentina, so we are talking about a social and professional network which has great potential. This number includes all alumni who have completed on-site, online or dual qualification programmes.
During the 2007-08 academic course there were 25 Argentineans taking part in on-site programmes at IDEC in Barcelona.

What could be your role in the Alumni Chapter Argentina?
It is mainly former students, with the support of IDEC and UPF, who, on returning to their country, contribute to the dynamic activity of each individual country‘s association. Their motivation is to maintain links with IDEC and UPF, to get to know alumni from other years and to promote the value of their qualification within their own community.
If you would like to join us, we invite you to:
- Become a contact for future students at IDEC-Universitat Pompeu Fabra who would like to have an “on-line mentor” for any doubts or queries they may have before arriving in Barcelona.
- Form part of the organisational nucleus of the Alumni Chapter Argentina in order to energise alumni meetings on the occasion of visits by university figures.
- Help in the annual preparation of the experience exchange meeting between former and future students.
Who can become a member of the Alumni Chapter Argentina?
The Alumni Chapter Argentina in your country aims to bring together the whole UPF community, made up of all those individuals who have developed a strong link with IDEC and UPF and who are interested in maintaining links with these institutions and promoting exchange and experiences. Specifically, this collective includes:
