Alumni Projects
The Peter Hünermann KAAD Foundation supports initiatives launched by current and former grant recipients. Through targeted grants, it supports projects led by alumnae and alumni that have a multiplier effect, strengthens professional networks, and helps make the results of collaborative work accessible.
Regional Networking
The Foundation's support enables representatives of alumni associations to attend alumni events in other countries in order to deepen networking through personal contact. In 2021, the Foundation also financed meeting owls for the African alumni associations, primarily to enable alumni who are unable to travel to events in person due to physical distance to participate.
Professional networking
By funding seminars, excursions and study days, the foundation supports the formation of specialist groups in which alumni and current scholarship holders can network at a specialist level.
Publications
The Foundation supports alumni in producing their own publications by subsidizing printing costs.
