Lse Alumni Association Belgium

With over 160,000 LSE alumni in more than 190 countries and over 80 active alumni groups, the LSE alumni community is a truly international one. The LSE Alumni Association Belgium is part of this global, vibrant network. The ties that bind Belgium and the School are strong. Every year, around 100 students from this country attend the School and an equal number of recent graduates come to work or continue their studies. A particularly popular destination is naturally the European Institutions, where many high ranking alumni also work. The creation of an alumni association was almost inevitable. Indeed, in 2007 Lieven Brouwers and Florian Köbele founded the LSE Alumni Association Belgium which is based in Brussels. Ever since its inauguration, it functions as a hub for alumni coming from all parts of Europe and beyond. Its motto “Meet, Debate, Explore.... In the heart of Europe” reflects its three guiding principles. From panel discussions to cultural and social events, the LSEAAB organises activities for every taste. It brings people together, helps them find new professional opportunities and forge lasting bonds. It also offers exclusive services, including an Alumni Directory and a career page. Working closely with LSE Advancement, it promotes the school’s spirit and academic work and helps maintain the strong bond between the alumni community and the School. It also functions as a platform for the promotion of close ties between the United Kingdom and the European Union. The association is run by volunteers. It is open to the wider society, and non-alumni can register as Friends of the LSE. There are currently over 900 registered alumni and friends.
