For the first time, the British Council is running an EU region Study UK Alumni Awards, honouring the achievements of former students of UK universities from across Europe.

We hope you can join us virtually on 26 February at 12.30 UK time to meet eight remarkable students. 

Finalists were selected for their outstanding achievements as business professionals, entrepreneurs and community leaders, and for their important contribution to strengthening collaborative ties between the UK and the EU region. At a time when the way that UK and European educational and cultural institutions work together is changing, these alumni are an important symbol of enduring connections between people in the UK and European countries.
