Staying connected beyond your time at ZMT
Professional relationships, scientific exchange, and links with ZMT remain valuable long after an individual position, a project, or research stay at the institute has ended.
As part of ZMT’s Science Management, the Office for Alumni Relations helps former members of ZMT stay in touch with each other and with the institute, creating opportunities for exchange, mentoring, and collaboration. Today, ZMT’s more than 1,000 alumni work across universities and research institutes, government agencies, NGOs, consultancies, industry, and international organisations.
Our services
Our activities address former early career researchers, senior scientists, fellows, partners, and other collaborators from around the world. Our services include:
- maintaining and developing the alumni database,
- informing alumni about developments and activities at ZMT,
- creating opportunities for networking and exchange,
- linking alumni with current researchers through mentoring and other formats,
- organising events and opportunities to reconnect,
- supporting scientific and professional exchange across disciplines, sectors, and countries.
Building the Alumni Network
ZMT’s Alumni Network is currently being further developed. We are updating alumni records, reconnecting with former members of ZMT, and preparing for future activities. To better understand the interests and needs of our alumni, we have established a short survey. Your responses will help us shape future activities and make relevant opportunities and information more accessible.
Early career experiences at ZMT
Many alumni began their professional journey at ZMT as early career researchers (ECR), developing their skills, experience, and networks during their time at the institute. Through ZMT Academy, we contribute to this phase by providing training, guidance, and access to relevant resources that support scientific and professional development.
