Alumni Day 2025

Launched in 2014, the France Alumni network enables international alumni in France to stay in touch with their peers and with France. These alumni, who act as relays among the economic, cultural and political elites of their home countries, form an invaluable network of influence.

During the Network Days in July 2022, the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Catherine Colonna, decided to create Alumni Day, a day dedicated to bringing together alumni who have studied in France, in order to energize and federate this network. Campus France is in charge of steering this operation. Since 2023, an Alumni Day has been held every year, with a specific theme. This year's theme is " Talents to change the world".

To celebrate the third edition of Alumni Day, Campus France Sénégal is organizing a conference on June 18 at the French Institute in Dakar, on the theme of Developing your professional network through social networks and artificial intelligence.

Conference presentation

This conference ties in with the overall Alumni Day theme of "Talent to change the world" in that it offers alumni tools and strategies to develop their careers, in a world where social networks and AI are almost essential in building a solid professional network. Indeed, AI and social networks are powerful tools that are transforming the way we work, communicate and interact.
