who we are
The EMAlumni Association is a network that brings together alumni of the European Masters in Human Rights and Democratisation with the aim of building a community where alumni learn from each other, connect, and promote human rights across the globe.
Get Involved
Every EMA graduate is automatically a member of the EMAlumni the moment they graduate from the programme. Once you’re a member, the EMAlumni community is yours!
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in shaping the community…
Upcoming Opportunities
EMAlumni Scholarship Fund
We are raising €6,450 to fund a scholarship for a deserving EMA student for the 2025-2026 academic year! This scholarship is inspired by our 2024 EMAlumni Award winner, Andra Matei, Founder of Avant-Garde Lawyers and a champion for freedom of expression. Support the next generation of human rights defenders.
