Presentation of the Peruvian Alumni Chapter
The Alumni Chapter in Peru was founded in 2004 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 Peru 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 our Chapter and takes an active part in our meetings. So why not get in touch with us and help us to energise our alumni community?
How many of us are there?
At present there are 62 IDEC alumni from Ecuador: we are talking about a social and professional network with great potential which includes all alumni, whether they have completed on-site, online or dual qualification programmes.
During the 2007-08 academic course there were 10 Peruvians taking part in on-site programmes at IDEC in Barcelona.

IDEC relations with universities in Peru
IDEC has several collaboration agreements with universities and institutions worldwide to develop international training projects, such as dual qualification programmes. In the case of Peru, IDEC enjoys particularly good relations with Universidad del Pacífico and ESAN, through the CLADEA network.
What could be your role in the Alumni Chapter in Peru?
It is mainly former students, with the support of IDEC and UPF, who, on returning to their country, contribute to the dynamic activity of the Chapters. 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 in Peru 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 Peru?
The Alumni Chapter in Peru 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:
- former IDEC students
- former UPF students
- lecturers on UPF and IDEC programmes, either for UPF qualifications or those offered jointly with national universities
- “friends of UPF”: individuals and companies linked to UPF
