KI Alumni China Global Chapter
Karolinska Institutet has been a fertile academic ground for Chinese scholars and students. Today the KI Alumni WeChat group has over 300 members throughout China.
Over the last four decades, KI has trained a large number of biomedical researchers, doctoral and master-degree students originally from China. Many of these KI graduates have returned to China and work in academia and industry across the country. They have formed a strong KI Alumni Network in China and have established an active KI Alumni WeChat Group, which are important channels for networking for their carreer developments and maintaining warm links to KI. KI Alumni Relations Office has recently appointed five KI alumni ambassaders to promote KI’s connection to the alumni and the networking among the alumni.
Send a request to KI alumni ambassador Wenli "Claire" Ye (Email address: CLAIREywl@hotmail.com) to become a member of the KI Alumni WeChat Group.
