Center for Francophone Worlds


‘...because language belongs to those who make it their own’.


Source: Quote by Mr. Wilfried N'Sondé from the text “Bienvenue en français” from the anthology Manifeste pour l' hospitalité des langues; publisher: La passe du vent

The Center provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange and promotes the visibility of research and teaching related to Francophonie at the University of Tübingen, as well as activities related to it.

Fields of activity

  • Promoting research into the French- speaking world and francophonie
  • Making visible the existing collaborations with Francophone countries in research and teaching in Tübingen and providing opportunities for them to network with each other
  • Deepening the exchange of students and researchers with the French-speaking world, especially in German-French double degree programs (B.A., M.A., PhD)
  • Encouraging cooperation in teaching and research and supporting the raising of third-party funding in this field
  • Communicating the results of exchanges and research into the French-speaking world to the public
