IHS Alumni International Network

Over the years IHS has built up a unique and global network of international contacts with former students. IHS Alumni are usually mid-career practitioners occupying key positions in projects, programmes and organisations from the public, private and academic sectors. In 60 years, the IHS alumni have formed a unique global network of international contacts, which has grown into a community of over 9,000 urban professionals in 143 countries, who share common roots at IHS.

The IHS Alumni International (IHS AI) is a network of urban professionals established in 2009, in response to the need for all IHS alumni to stay connected. Its primary aim is fostering professional ideas and support. To support the network in strengthening and membership building, the IHS Alumni Relations Office was established in 2009, in Rotterdam. Any questions regarding support and services for IHS alumni can be directed to alumni@ihs.nl
