Founded in 1994 by Proffessor Andrea Cammelli, AlmaLaurea was born from an experimental project of the Statistical Observatory of the University of Bologna, initially as a database of graduates' curriculum vitae.

To date 75 Universities throughout Italy have joined AlmaLaurea Consortium: in addition to being a database of the CV of graduated from various universities, Almalaurea carries out surveys on the employment status of the graduates (one, three and five years after graduation), it operates as a work placement agency, it is recognized as a research institution and takes part in many scientific cooperation projects at a national and international level.

Almalaurea Consortium uses the professional newsletter platform AnthericaMail for its online communications and to obtain statistical data that later processes and discloses through its reports.

In particular, the software is used for various types of communication addressed to different recipients, including, significantly, students and former university students, but also companies, universities and journalists:

  • job and internship offers;
  • interviews on the employment outcomes of degree and master courses, on study and work experiences and on research doctorates. These interviews actually represent the real heart of AlmaLaurea's statistical surveys;
  • publication of periodic reports on statistical surveys;
  • communications concerning events, invitations to conferences, press conferences et al.

In addition to the Consortium offices in Bologna, that have various accounts, specifically dedicated to the dispatchment of each different type of communication, more than 25 universities use AnthericaMail, with their own independent accounts.
These accounts are used not only to send communications from the placement office, relating to job offers, internships and calls, but also for the newsletters of the community of students and former students, such as in the case of the Sienese university, with USiena Alumni.

AlmaLaurea also uses the AnthericaSMS platform for SMS communications: AnthericaSMS allows you to send high quality messages, with personalized sender and notification of receipt, in Italy and abroad.

Let's close with a quote from dear, departed Prof. Cammelli that we especially like:


«It is true that we are in a period of shortage, but we should never forget that, even in a period of famine, the farmer saves on everything but not on sowing. And sowing must be carried out with great care: Plutarch repeated that young people are not pails to be filled, but torches to be lit».

Andrea Cammelli
