Join our funding jury.
As AIESEC Alumni Germany we fund projects run by active Local Committees. Which projects get funded is decided by our jury, together with the board. And that is where you come in.
What this is about
Every semester Local Committees submit projects that involve alumni and move exchange forward: they write a project plan, pitch it — and a jury decides which projects get funded, and with how much. How that works on the LC side is described on the page about LC project funding.
This jury is staffed by alumni. Because it is about more than a yes or a no: the active AIESECers should get usable feedback on their project plan — from people who have done this kind of thing themselves.
The best part: the effort is manageable, while the contact back to AIESEC is all the nicer for it. At the session you meet other alumni and get to see how much energy the active AIESECers put into pitching their projects.
How it works.

You get the briefing and the assessment criteria from us.
AAG - 2
You read two to three project ideas, some three to four pages.
You - 3
At the pitch session you help decide as part of the jury.

Optionally you give an LC some extra feedback.

What that means in detail
Briefing. We give you a short briefing and the assessment criteria — so there is nothing you need to organise yourself.
Reviewing the projects. We send you two to three project ideas, three to four pages in total. You take your time going through them.
Pitch session. At the session everyone comes together: the active AIESECers pitch their projects, and you as the jury help decide which ideas get funded.
Optional feedback. For projects that are convincing in principle but still need some polish, we provide additional feedback. If you feel like supporting an LC a little further, we would be delighted — but it is not a must.
The dates for this round
We offer two pitch sessions. You simply pick whichever suits you better — you do not have to attend both.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| 6 October 2026 | We send you the project proposals |
| 16 October 2026 | First pitch session |
| 23 October 2026 | Second pitch session |
After that the whole thing repeats on a semester rhythm: once in the winter and once in the summer semester.
What we are looking for
What gets assessed is what the LCs have to bring: alumni actually involved, a well-thought-out budget including risks, a realistic timeline, a marketing plan and measurable goals. We supply the criteria for that.
More important than the judging, though, is the feedback. So anything that turns into concrete advice is useful — your own project experience, an eye for budgets, an understanding of marketing, or simply remembering what LC work feels like.
Taking part
Sign up using the form — it takes two minutes. We only ask for the essentials: how to reach you and which of the two pitch dates suits you better. Everything else follows by email.
