Alumni organisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The previously funded Fellows came together in 2009 to form the Bulgarian Alumni Association to ensure continued contact among current and former Fellows and to build a network of environmental experts.
The Alumni Association actively participates in publicizing the Fellowship Program in Bulgaria, helps or supports candidates in the application process, provides important information and tips about the stay abroad, and is represented at the introductory seminar. DBU awards the Fellowship at a festive certificate ceremony in Sofia, where the new Fellows can meet the members and the work of the Alumni Association. With the support of the DBU, the Bulgarian Alumni Association organizes an annual meeting as well as national and international workshops.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
