Alumni Frequently Asked Questions

Upon request EUI Alumni are entitled to:

• EUI alumni email account as specified under point 2.
• On-site access to the EUI Library during regular opening hours and borrowing rights. Due to copyright laws, alumni cannot have remote access to online academic journals and other paid-for (pay-walled) resources; they may use them only while they are physically on campus.

Former EUI researchers, fellows, professors and staff who have been at the EUI for at least 12 months may request one of the following EUI accounts, according to their affiliation:

• @alumni.eui.eu for graduated EUI PhD or LLM researchers
• @alumniprofs.eui.eu for former EUI professors
• @alumnifellows.eui.eu for former EUI Fellows including Max Weber Fellows, STG Policy Leader Fellows, Marie Curie Fellows, Jean Monnet Fellows
• @former.eui.eu for former EUI staff members (not including auxiliaries and trainees), PhD and LLM researchers who did not complete the programme; academic or administrative assistants; researchers and fellows visiting the EUI for at least 12 months

NB. In case of multiple affiliations, please note that we will assign the domain of your email account as follows:

1. EUI PhD or LLM Graduate ([email protected])
2. Former EUI Professors ([email protected])
3. Former EUI Fellow ([email protected])
4. Any other former EUI member at the EUI for at least 12 months ([email protected])

In order to get an EUI alumni email account you just have to fill the online request form.

Only current EUI researchers and members of staff can have an @eui.eu account. However, emails sent to your @eui.eu account will be automatically delivered to the new address, and you will be able to keep the existing inbox and archived folders from your original @eui.eu account.

A few months after the account expiration it and all contents are removed. Before the expiration you will receive an email notification, informing you about the upcoming expiration date. In case you are entitled to receive a new Alumni account you can request it by filling in the online request form. You can ask for support to make sure your emails are moved to your new Alumni account before your expiring EUI account is removed.

If you have requested a new account, all incoming emails to the former @eui.eu account will be redirected to the new alumni account.

Under the new alumni policy, your library card and access rights will remain active for six months after your defence.

If you have graduated from the EUI less than six months ago, your Library user privileges are still active. 

If instead you are not a recent graduate, you will need to plan your visit and Library research in advance. If you have not activated an email account in one of the alumni domains, you should do so 3 to 5 days prior to your visit.  Once you are at the EUI and have an active alumni email account, you may request the EUI card at the Badia. There is a 5€ processing fee for the card, and they must be picked up in person at the Badia Control Room (Monday to Friday, 10.30-12.30 in the morning and 14.00-15.30 in the afternoon). 

Once you have your card, you may enter the Library.

If you choose not to activate an alumni account, you may apply to the Library as an external user following their procedure (allow at least 10 days for processing).

The alumni card is necessary for on-site access to the Library and selected Library resources. Credit may be added to the alumni card for canteen and bar purchases. Please note that the card does not function as a key for EUI entrances and exits.

No. It is not possible to activate an alumni domain and receive an EUI alumni card in one day. If you will be visiting the Badia and plan to request a card during your visit, you should request your alumni e-mail account 3 to 5 days prior to your visit.
