GLU Alumni Coordinators

The coordinators have traditionally been elected from one Summer School to the next, and with COVID disruption, the system is dependent on ad hoc meetings and similar occasions where alumni are able to meet.  A coordinator can be re-elected once. After the second term, he/she has to be substituted by a new representative.

The two main tasks include (1.) representation of alumni from the region the rep represents (try to have contact with the national steering committee and current students), and (2.) decision on solidarity fund for emergency cases or solidarity projects. The reps are responsible for the application process by regularly sending out a call for applications. Applications can be sent to the coordinators throughout the year.

As a result of discussions that took place during the 11th GLU Alumni Summer School at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), it was proposed that the elected regional coordinators seek to review and improve the procedures of the election moving forward. The intention has been to further democratise the network and to ensure that those who cannot participate in future summer schools will still be able to participate fully in elections.
