About the Club

The EAD Alumni Club – Join an exclusive global network of young and high-potential professionals!

The Alumni Club of the European Academy of Diplomacy (EAD) aims to continually strengthen and develop the EAD’s global network of over 10,000 alumni from more than 100 countries, who have completed one of our programmes over the years. It will continue the creation of building on the personal and professional relationships developed during the programmes at the EAD. The Alumni Club supports the mission and values of the EAD – empowering a new generation of enlightened international leaders through respect and dialogue, co-ownership, empowerment and ethical engagement. This will occur through the organisation of special closed events, open conferences and annual alumni gatherings.
