About our alumni
IHE Delft alumni make a significant impact in their fields, and they also serve as Institute ambassadors by using and sharing what they learned during their studies.
Alumni work in public, private, non-governmental and international organisations and companies in water and related fields. Many alumni hold key decision-making positions or advance research to advance the global water agenda. Surveys in the past have shown that most alumni return to their home countries for their careers, and that most are active in the water sector.
IHE Delft stays in touch with alumni through a monthly newsletter and through additional mailings, many of which target specific groups. The Alumni Relations Officer also facilitates communication amongst alumni by assisting and advising on the establishment of regional alumni groups. In addition, alumni are invited to join occasional in-person networking gatherings, and to nominate themselves or each other to the annual Alumni Award. The Institute also offers
