We are in the process of charting the way to establish AAU
Alumni Association world wide. We prepared this online conference to facilitate
the formation and to document concepts and to learn about the
legal process .
As you know we have an online AAU-Network and there is now an attempt
to define a role for such network. Within the AAU-Network there are several
discipline based networks which attempt to generate interest to participate
in building the capabilities of higher learning institutions in Ethiopia,
as well has assist Ethiopians all over the world to succeed in their
academic careers. Some of us believe that a successful network has the
following characteristics
- It is open to all who are willing to help Ethiopian higher
education institutions
- In doing so any one interested in the cause of higher education
in Ethiopia can join the network
- In doing so it will generate tangible collaboration targeted
to improve the quality of Education and research in Ethiopia
- In doing so it documents the achievements of Ethiopian scholars
and students; and rewards their efforts
- It facilitates the availability of resources to all Ethiopian
students
- It unites people
- Many more
Suggested Focus Areas

- History of Addis Ababa University

its Alumni

and missions
