In December 2024, AEPICAB organised a two-day follow-up conference to formally launch the process of establishing the Amsterdam Universities Graduates Association in Ethiopia (AUGAE), building on an initial alumni preparatory meeting held in May 2023. As the Ethiopia Capacity Building Projects mark over 35 years of implementation, the initiative brings together alumni to recognise their contributions, assess long-term programme impact, and strengthen future capacity-building efforts.
The conference convened professors, alumni, institutional partners, and representatives of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ethiopia, including the Ambassador. H.E. Christine Pirenne who delivered the concluding remarks at the closure of the conference.
