Kyoto University Switzerland Alumni

The Association organizes lectures and social gatherings covering a wide range of fields together with alumni not only in Switzerland but also in neighboring European countries.

In particular, as of 2023, Kyoto University and the University of Zurich have been strengthening academic exchange and collaborative research through their strategic partnership and internationally leading research initiatives. Against this backdrop, the Association aims to serve as a supportive and welcoming community for alumni living or studying abroad.

In keeping with the spirit of Kyoto University, the Association’s gatherings are informal and relaxed, and we warmly welcome all interested alumni to join.
