## The University of Padua Alumni Association

*[Versione italiana](https://www.unipd.it/alumni)*

The **University of Padua Alumni Association**, inspired by the motto *Patavina Libertas*, was founded in ***2015***,through the efforts of the Founding Member, the [University of Padua](https://www.unipd.it/), and the supporting Founding Member, the [University of Padua Friends Association ETS](https://www.amiciunipd.it/), *to publicise, collate and put to use the **great heritage** of experiences, skills and professionalism for which **those who have studied or worked at the University of Padua are known throughout the world**.*

The Association strongly believes in the **identity**, **sense of belonging**, **pride** and **views** of all those who have lived in the **academic community of Padua**, building on a fruitful **relationship based on sharing and discussing ideas and on mutual support**.
