The International Alumni Center (iac Berlin) was founded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung in 2017 to support the development of networks for social impact.

The network contributes to an open, just and sustainable world by convening diverse perspectives, enabling knowledge sharing and empowering members to take collective action. With a decentralized structure and clusters based on topic and region, the network brings together members with common interests and different backgrounds from around 140 countries, to foster cross-sectoral exchange and international collaborations.
