"Europe has witnessed explosive growth recently in the
number of its Harvard Clubs. In the past three years,
eleven new Harvard Clubs have been created: four in
"old Europe"—Denmark, Ireland, Italy, and Monaco —and
seven fledgling clubs, most with memberships of fewer
than 50 alumni each, in Eastern and Central
Europe-Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Romania and
Moldova, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, and Turkey.
There are now 30 clubs in Europe, with a club in
Russia being created, and contact persons in Norway
and the Baltic States. Clubs in Israel and Lebanon are
included in our regional activities, given their
proximity. Eckart Brödermann LLM '83, President of the
Harvard Club of Hamburg, launched a draft European
Clubs Directory a year ago and now finds he has his
work cut out for him to include all the new clubs.
Europe represents a third of Harvard's international
alumni.
Alumni in Europe number approximately 14,900, which
represents more than a third of Harvard's 34,300
"active" international alumni (alumni with valid
addresses). Sixty-eight percent of Harvard alumni in
Europe are concentrated in four countries (UK 5,300,
France 2,000, Germany 1,600, and Switzerland 1,300).
More than a third of alumni in Europe live in the
United Kingdom. Another five countries have between
400 and 750 alumni: Belgium, Greece, Italy, the
Netherlands, and Sweden."
