Program Coordination<br />
The program is being coordinated by Ir. Hans de Ruiter director of the Federation of European Mineral<br />
Programs (<strong>FEMP</strong>), with the part time assistance of Ms. Marja Roep (organisational matters), Ms. Jitske<br />
van der Laan (Erasmus Mundus students) and Mr. Gilles Louwerens (IT matters).<br />
ALUMNI<br />
Since the start of the program in 1996 the number of alumni and students has grown steadily to over 650,<br />
of which about 610 have an accurate e-mail address. Maintaining contacts among the alumni and<br />
between the alumni and the Industry is considered as one of the strong features of <strong>FEMP</strong>.<br />
Each year, a two- to three-day reunion is organised in October/November for alumni, all current students<br />
and representatives from industry and staff members of the six universities. The reunion, which coincides<br />
with the annual meeting of the Board of <strong>FEMP</strong> and the Industrial Advisory Board, is held at a central<br />
location in Europe. The reunion features a workshop organised by one of the companies supporting<br />
<strong>FEMP</strong>. This may address themes such as financial risk-taking, environmental care, mitigating impact on<br />
society, future technological developments etc. The workshop is complemented by social activities such<br />
as a reunion dinner, an excursion and ample opportunities for networking.<br />
The contact with the alumni is maintained with the help of a web based database, which is updated by the<br />
alumni their selves.<br />
Statistics<br />
The number of alumni is becoming significant and form a powerful network. <strong>FEMP</strong> stays in touch and<br />
informs the alumni about employment opportunities with <strong>FEMP</strong> member companies. It also brings these<br />
companies in contact with the alumni network. Following table shows the 57 countries where graduates<br />
work.<br />
