Associazione Alumni PoliTO

CHINESE ALUMNI COMMUNITY

Politecnico di Torino has a deep, long-lasting relationship with China. Since the early 21th century, Chinese students have been studying at Politecnico di Torino. In recent years, PoliTo has implemented China Projects, and has carried out various forms of cooperation with many Chinese universities (www.chinacenter.polito.it).  The number of Chinese students has greatly increased, and Chinese Alumni have spread all over the world, being a community of over 2.000 people nowadays.
In order to enhance the reputation of Politecnico di Torino in China, foster its influence, and stimulate the enthusiasm of the Chinese Alumni to care for and support the construction and development of PoliTo, in 2020 Politecnico di Torino has promoted the establishment of the PoliTO China Alumni Association (PCAA). Remarkably, in 2020 the Chinese Alumni donated sanitary protective equipment to help PoliTo fighting with the COVID-19. So far, PCAA has established Alumni branches in more than ten provinces and regions including Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Xi'an, as well as its branch in Europe.

However, certain contributions have a peculiar meaning: it is the case of the fundraising held by a group of Chinese former students of the Politecnico, which consists in medical equipment directly coming from China.
