Dear students at the University of Tübingen,
would you like to enjoy an unforgettable evening with good food and new people? Then sign up for the student dinner! Three courses will be cooked: starter, main course, and dessert. You will stay together as a team of two for the entire evening and cook one randomly assigned course for two other teams at your home. You decide what exactly you want to cook. You will enjoy the other two courses at other teams' homes. New teams will come together for each course.

FAQs

Participation

Who can participate?

You can participate if you 

  • are enrolled as a student at the University of Tübingen,
  • have access to a kitchen for cooking,
  • live in Tübingen (excluding districts / Teilorte) and
  • speak German or Englisch*.

*When registering, there is a field where you can leave a message for the teams on your route. It is best to enter your message here if you prefer to speak English. 

How much does registration cost?

Registration is free of charge. You only pay for the ingredients for your course.

Registration & cancelling

You can register until 28 November via the extern registration platform (spinfood). After 28 November, you can still register, but you will be placed for now on a waiting list but we´ll do everything we can to allocate you.

You can cancel your registration yourself without any problems until 28 November via the self-service area or by email. After that, cancellations are only possible in emergencies in order to avoid unnecessary extra work for everyone. 

Teams

How are the teams formed?

You can form your own teams of two, who will cook together and stay together for the evening, i.e. you can register directly with a partner. If you do not yet have a partner, you can also register alone. We will then assign you someone.

The distribution of the other teams, whom you will meet at dinner, is determined by the algorithm based on your place of residence.

Can different teams from a shared flat register?

Yes! To ensure that we do not assign you the same course and to prevent double occupancy of kitchens, ALL flatmates must provide the correct flat number or a unique flat name (e.g. ‘LetsParty’) in the registration form.

Which kitchen to choose?

As a team of two, you must decide whose flat you want to cook in. If you have a free choice, choose the centrally located flat or the one with better transport links so that the distances between the courses are as short as possible.

Procedure & Organisation

How will the evening proceed?

At 6 p.m., everyone meets at the hosts' place for the starter, at 8 p.m. at the hosts' place for the main course, and at 10 p.m. at the hosts' place for dessert, where you can relax and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Make sure you allow enough time between courses to get from one place to the next. Also, make sure you choose a menu that is easy to prepare, as you won't have much time between courses to prepare the food.

How do I find out what to cook and where to go?

A few days before the student dinner, you will receive all the important information by email. You will find out which course you have to cook, which guests are coming and where you will be a guest. Then you can plan your evening in detail. 

Is there an afterparty?

No, not this time. The student dinner is taking place at the University of Tübingen for the first time this semester and is initially being run as a pilot project. An after-party is being planned for the next student dinners. 

Cooking & dietary choices

How elaborate and expensive should the course be?

That's entirely up to you! But remember that you have to buy the ingredients yourself and that the evening is tightly scheduled. It's therefore best to plan a menu that won't break the bank and is easy to prepare.

How are dietary preferences taken into account?

When registering, please indicate your dietary preferences (whether vegetarian, vegan or irrelevant) and any intolerances. This information will be passed on to the teams on your route and must be taken into account when cooking the courses.

Example: Among your guests are omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Either you cook entirely vegan from the outset or you offer your guests appropriate alternatives.

Who is organising the student dinner?

The Student Health Management BeTaBalance is hosting the student dinner. The Student Health Survey 2024 at the University of Tübingen revealed that students enjoy cooking but could benefit from better networking opportunities at the university. That's why we now have the student dinner!

SGM BeTaBalance is only responsible for organizing the study dinner and accepts no responsibility for any damage that may occur. The participants themselves are responsible for the running, content, and safety of the respective cooking evening.
