The Master in Biomedical Sciences at UNamur celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022. Following the positive feedback from students and Alumni at this event, we decided to officially create the Alumni Association: 'BioMed Connect'.

As graduates of the Master in Biomedical Sciences at UNamur, you are part of a dynamic community that spans the globe. The BioMed Connect association bridges the gap between past experiences and future plans, maintaining contact between our alumni and fostering professional development for all. Whether you graduated recently or many years ago, the BioMed Connect Association offers a myriad of opportunities for networking, mentoring and lifelong learning. Join us to celebrate our shared history, discover and support the journeys of our Alumni and make a positive impact on the next generations of the Master in Biomedical Sciences.

Challenges and objectives

The challenges of the BioMed Connect association are to enrich the lives of our graduates and support the continued success of the Master in Biomedical Sciences at UNamur. To this end various objectives are pursued:

  • Fostering links: we aim to cultivate and strengthen the ties that unite former, current and future students by creating a support network that extends beyond generations, professions and geographical locations, via the organization of events and meetings.
  • Professional development: through mentoring programs, networking events and professional resources, and the sharing of job offers and opportunities, we strive to facilitate the professional growth and success of our Alumni.
  • Continuing education: we offer opportunities for intellectual engagement and personal development through conferences and educational initiatives that promote lifelong learning.
