University of Tampere Alumni ry

University of Tampere Alumni ry is established in 1998 and it is a first alumni association in Finland. It continues the University of Tampere’s alumni traditions and supports alumni activities with allowances.

Alumni allowances

Association supports alumni activities with allowances in accordance with the Alumni Fund regulations. Supported activities must contribute to the knowledge of the education and scientific work of the Tampere University, as well as to increase the togetherness of alumni. 

Alumni allowances are provided for the costs of alumni events, “reunions”, visiting lectures, professional life visits and mentoring programs. For example, reasonable space rents, supplies and catering costs, and marketing expenses. There is no grant for applicants' own salary or fee expenses. The grant may not exceed EUR 500,00/project.
