ICGEB’s training programmes represent an exciting opportunity to interact with people all over the world in state-of-the-art scientific environments and in all the top scientific institutes. Youth, essential to nurturing a brighter and more equitable future, constitutes the backbone of the ICGEB’s training programmes that have been operating for over three decades across the world.
Several hundred new ICGEB fellows yearly constitute an ICGEB Alumni body of around 3,000 individuals from more than 80 countries around the globe.
The ICGEB strengthens this networking community, to develop training, cultural initiatives, and expertise involving ICGEB Alumni.

Activities that can be proposed and organised by Alumni include:
- get-togethers and reunions for peers or alumni local to you (around the globe), which help alumni reconnect with the ICGEB and share their memories. The 2nd ICGEB International Alumni Meeting was held in Trieste, Italy, in 2025;
- professional networking based around a scientific discipline or nationality, which helps alumni make new connections and progress in their careers;
- talks, seminars, or lectures that enable alumni to learn, and explore scientific subject matter for which the ICGEB is renowned, and spread news of the institute’s research and reputation;
- events based around a common interest, such as a student society, which allows alumni to share their expertise, explore a hobby or interest, and strengthen the ICGEB’s community;
- acting as a reviewer for the ICGEB CRP Grants programme.
