Events
Meet people, exchange ideas on a wide variety of topics and do so at different events: Get the network pulsating at events together with others
Have you ever attended one of our events and experienced how people who don't know each other spontaneously find each other, share memories, talk about current topics or engage in professional discussions – and all of this effortlessly, openly and with each other? The connection to the university and the memories of life in Heidelberg make this possible. Join in, take advantage of offers, attend events in Heidelberg, in other parts of Germany and abroad or online. There are always plenty of opportunities, examples of which can be found below on this page or as a preview unter Current Topics Alumni.
