Senior Citizens

We are very happy that the Senior Citizens group now supports our event organization. It is thanks to their volunteer work, that we are able to offer more and also new events for you. The team of 4 offers various activities such as hikes or visits to special festivals. They all share a great interest in intercultural encounters, other cultures and ways of life. Our international researchers thus receive additional support during their stay at the University as well as further historical and cultural insights into life around Tübingen.

Please note that the registration procedures for the respective events may differ from those offered directly by the Welcome Center. You will always find this information in the corresponding invitations. You can find an overview of all events in our calendar of events.

The following events are planned this year together with the Senior Citizens:
