Presentation of the Venezuelan Alumni Chapter
The Alumni Chapter in Venezuela began activities in the month of September 2008. Its aim, like all the Chapters, is to contribute to the development and exchange of experiences between IDEC and UPF alumni. 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 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 alumni community?
How many of us are there?
At present there are 68 IDEC alumni from Venezuela, 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 10 Venezuelan participants who completed on-site programmes at IDEC in Barcelona.
Previous meetings
A meeting was held in Caracas for the first time in September, 2008:
- Pompeu Fabra University’s participation in the World MBA Tour and Meeting of former and present students on the 2008-09 academic course: September 3rd and 4th, 2008, Pestana Caracas Hotel & Suites.
Future meetings
Why not join us at the following meeting?
- September 2009: second edition of the exchange meeting of alumni and students about to start the new academic year. Don’t miss this opportunity to do some networking and get to know old and new students from different promotions.
The aim of this meeting is to establish a link between students who have just graduated from IDEC and those about to start studying there, about to leave their country to complete programmes in Barcelona and who would be grateful for some guidance about what their experience in Spain will be like. All those alumni residing in Venezuela are also invited so that they can get to know new members of the Chapter.

IDEC relations with universities in Venezuela
What could be your role in the Alumni Chapter in Venezuela?
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 Local Association for 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 Chapter?
The Alumni Chapter in Venezuela 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:
