As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Erasmus Mundus program, we are excited to share inspiring stories from our alumni. Meet our first graduate:
Asipa Altymysheva
Regional Communications Officer at International Telecommunication Union // MA in Digital Communications, Policies and Innovations // EU Erasmus Alumni Member
“I completed my Master’s degree in Digital Communications, Policies, and Innovations from Salzburg University and Vrije University Brussels. Now I work for the International Telecommunication Union as a Regional Communications Officer in the CIS region.
I appreciate the fact that, thanks to my Master’s degree and subsequent work experience, I am able to work in my field of expertise and, moreover, contribute to my region, particularly Kyrgyzstan. Last year, in April, we organized the International Girls in ICT Day in Bishkek, where more than 250 girls were present to share knowledge, training, and opportunities.
I am grateful to Erasmus for providing such a great opportunity. Moreover, thanks to Erasmus, I have gained international experience and made friends from Cuba, South Africa, Finland, the Philippines, America, Tanzania, France, and many other countries. I have learned about other cultures, traveled extensively during my studies, and broadened my horizons. Erasmus is the best program.”
