AAIT will establish an “External Relations Unit” which consists of the TT business unit, the Public Relations office and the International Office. By combining these three units synergy effects can be reached and an effective team structure built up.

Part of the role of “External Relations Unit” is to establish an Alumni organization in order to strengthen the public-private with the industry. Therefore, it should be one of the goals in the first year of AAIT implementation to establish a vital Alumni organization.

In addition and more importantly initially one and later more Industry Advisory Committee(s) will be established with industry leaders as members and selected academics and students as observers. This Committee will advise AAIT  and later individual departments of AAIT on all curriculum design questions as well as on potential areas of research that could lead to support from industry as well as support from the Government.
