Luiss Alumni Network

What Luiss Alumni Network does

Luiss Alumni Network (LAN) is the official alumni association of Luiss Guido Carli University, an Italian private university based in Rome. Founded in June 2023 as the evolution of the Associazione Laureati Luiss, the network connects current and former students of the university across Italy and internationally, providing professional networking, career development, mentoring, and community engagement services without charging membership fees or requiring registration.

The network operates through a chapter-based model, coordinating 22 volunteer-led Chapters (19 international and 3 Italian as of 2025) in cities including London, New York, Brussels, Paris, Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, São Paulo, Zurich, and others. Each chapter is led by a Chapter Leader and supported by volunteer committees that organize in-person events, round tables, networking gatherings, and virtual webinars. Beyond chapters, the network offers structured programs including Mentoring Guido (mentoring program), Alumni Leadership Experience, Luiss AroundME (support for students abroad in countries with active chapters), and Young Graduates Programs. Supporting infrastructure includes a bilingual (Italian/English) website, lifetime alumni email service, and active presence across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.

The organization is a non-profit, privately held entity funded through Luiss University with no direct revenue generation from members. It maintains minor institutional partnerships with organizations such as Confindustria (Brussels event hosting) and Intesa Sanpaolo (Luxembourg venue), plus cross-affiliation with the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China. The underlying technology platform is a standard multilingual digital presence without proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or commercial APIs. Operations are run by a small core team of approximately 20 employees based in Rome.

Others

• PeopleGrove: Mentoring and alumni networking platform vendor serving universities. Useful comparable for understanding the digital engagement layer typically used by alumni networks at peer institutions.
• Graduway: Vendor providing alumni engagement and mentoring platform software to universities. Adjacent infrastructure provider — what LAN lacks internally — and therefore a relevant ecosystem peer for benchmarking digital engagement tooling.

Direct peers

• Bocconi Alumni Network: Alumni network of Bocconi University, Italy's comparable elite private business school. Most directly comparable peer given identical mission, Italian private university context, and overlap in target employers (banks, consulting, PE).
• Alumni Politecnico di Milano: Official alumni association of Politecnico di Milano, one of Italy's leading technical universities with a large international graduate base and active chapter network worldwide — closely comparable chapter-based operating model.
• IE University Alumni: Alumni network of Spain-based IE University, a peer European private business school with strong international chapters, mentorship programs, and corporate partnerships.
• Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna Alumni: Alumni network of the world's oldest university, operating a global chapter system for an Italian public university. Comparable on chapter scale, international footprint, and career-oriented programming.
• Università Cattolica Alumni: Alumni community for Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, one of Italy's largest private universities. Similar institutional-backed, free-membership alumni engagement structure.
• INSEAD Alumni Association: Global alumni association of INSEAD business school with chapters in many of the same cities as LAN (NY, London, Paris, Singapore, Dubai). Directly comparable on multi-city chapters, mentor programs, and career development.

Broad incumbents

• Harvard Alumni Association: Largest, most established university alumni organization globally. Comparable in mission (lifelong alumni engagement, mentoring, regional clubs) at much greater scale, offering a benchmark for chapter model maturity.

Emerging players

• Hult International Business School Alumni: Alumni community for Hult, a global business school with a similar profile of internationally distributed graduates and active chapter programming in major business hubs.
